Blogger Amos Yee handed four new charges in Singapore over alleged racial disharmony, indecent online content

Singaporean blogger Amos Yee Pang Sang was recently handed four new charges related to alleged racial disharmony and indecent online content, increasing his total count to seven offenses. The latest charges involve two blog posts from April discussing discrimination and calls for protests against another community, as well as remarks made in a May 27 X video that was later removed by the platform.

Additionally, Yee faces accusations of making indecent communications in a June 30 article and three videos from 2021, advocating for sexual relationships involving children and the legalization of child sexual abuse material. His lawyer, Divanan Narkunan, stated that the new charges were served on August 26, and Yee is currently awaiting instructions.

Prosecutors have set bail at S$15,000 (RM47,550) with conditions prohibiting Yee from posting content that could incite racial disharmony or promote paedophilia. Yee, who initially faced three national service-related offenses after being deported from the United States in March, is set to appear in court on September 18 for a pre-trial conference.
