如何评价新加坡对余澍杉的处理？

费祥

近年，中国大陆被精神病现象随精神卫生法实施后逐渐消减，但想不到“被精神病”于一直被视为安全、整洁、法治的新加坡再度上演。

今年3月27日，新加坡国父李光耀逝世后四天， 16岁未成年的余澍杉Amos Lee在Youtube上传了一部约8分钟半的视频，名为《Lee Kuan Yew Is Finally Dead !》（译：《李光耀终于挂了！》）。其中余澍杉质疑李光耀“被过誉”，将李光耀与耶稣类比，指其“具恶意和虚伪”，缔造了一个“以物质论成败的社会”。

网络攻击Amos的言论令Amos“一夜成名”，新加坡李氏政权威严受损，大多数新加坡人认为“这个孩子很坏”。

余澍杉遭新加坡政府起诉，罪名三项：伤害宗教人士情感、散播猥亵物、违反防止骚扰法

5月12日

新加坡法院裁决余澎杉触犯刑法292（1）“散布猥亵物”及刑法298条“侵害基督徒情感”的罪名成立。由于余澎杉拒绝缓刑，法官下令将他还押监狱，以评估是否适合接受长达三年的青年改造。期间传出他身心状况严重受损，甚至遭捆绑在床上一整天。

6月23日

心理医生Munidasa Winslow指余澍杉可能患有“自闭症谱系障碍（autism spectrum disorder）”，法庭下令将余澍杉还押心理卫生学院（精神病院），接受两个星期的精神病测试。

7月6日

新加坡法院将再次判决应如何处置余澎杉。

目前，联合国已发谴责声明，台湾、香港以及新加坡当地公民团体，也相继发出声援，促请新加坡政府无罪释放余澍杉。

新加坡政府此举不但严重违反联合国儿童公约，更是以言入罪，企图将政治问题套上“精神病”，言论自由的权利、改革社会的洞见在一个少年被精神病院隔离起来的一刻，已灰飞烟灭。

滥用精神医学，我们一点也不陌生。谁又想到发生在一个年仅16岁的少年身上呢？

在此分享Amos母亲的探监记，让我们更多了解这个“因言获罪”的少年及他的家人在这些日子里所受的煎熬。但值得一提的是，母亲简单用正常与不正常的认知来区分余澍杉与其他精神障碍者，诸如，“他是这群精神不健全者当中唯一的正常人”，究竟“正常与不正常”是如何构成的？

父亲与余澍杉步入法庭

我的儿子于6月23日中午12点，从Changi监狱转到位于Buangkok的精神病院（the Institute of Mental Health，简称IMH）。

这是法院下达的命令，为了评估他是否适合进行法院判定的“强制治疗令”。我直到第二天才知道他被转去IMH，没人通知我。对我们家庭的每个成员来说，近几个月令我们相当疲惫，但没有什么比得上我儿子 Amos Yee 所经历的一切，以及即将面临的一切。

Amos 一直是一个快活，有自信，擅长语言表达的孩子。他同时非常具有创意，而且他会投入无可计数的时间在他下定决心去做的事情上。

但我儿子已经变了一个人。

自从他三月份被逮捕，在法院里历经各种众多曲折，Amos如今非常疲惫，而且，是的，他很害怕，而我能理解为什么。在他被宣判之前，已被监禁如此之久（迄今已四十天），他可能感受到事情根本毫无逻辑道理可言。

星期三，我走过入口处有着沉重金属门的第七区，我了解第七区是关着真正重病的精神疾病患，罪犯或违法者，以及精神不健全者的地方，而这也是我的儿子被拘留的地方。

我把我的身份证明文件提交给管理员，并填好要求的探访表格。会客厅大约有12张桌子，像是校园的研读厅。Amos 比起其他人拥有较好的待遇，他被允许能够一周三次，让我前来探望。那时是下午4点20分，我有一个小时的时间可看我的儿子。

我不懂为什么我儿子只是来这里被评估是否罹患“自闭症”，却要跟这些真正罹患精神疾病的人安置在同一区？

“我想回家睡觉”，Amos 这样跟我说，他过去在Changi监狱的三周，每天23小时都被关在小囚房里，强光几乎无时无刻地照着，那样的情况他是不可能能够入睡的。但除了忍受别无他法，所以我能理解睡眠是他最渴望的一件事。

他希望能在家睡觉并进行日常的评估，但这不是法院的判决命令。而他在这间精神病院，拘禁在一个房间，他看到有着“疯狂脸孔”的人们，并整日忍受着“疯狂的声响”。

他是这群精神不健全者当中唯一的正常人。这样想，让我既害怕又哀伤。

Amos 被单独拘禁，内部环状的监视器持续地在监视他。他的单位只有一个尿壶与一个放在地上的弹簧垫，此外什么都没有，没有床！连卫生纸都没有！

而这里还有警报器，或者叫做闹钟，每次当需要召唤帮手，压制病患时就会爆开。这经常发生且增加了精神上的苦恼。再者，那些病患的尖叫，是没日没夜的。

我觉得稍感安慰的是，Amos 被允许阅读，我只希望这能帮助他度过在IMH的两周。

我被告知，像我儿子这样并非精神不健全者，IMH有可以安置的私密病房。但他却被强制送入第七区来评估。Amos只是制作了一个youtube，然后被送到精神病院？

我真希望他能够在家与我一起，我就能好好照顾他……

Amos Yee who is out on bail has gone on social media at around 5.00 am on April 30 to post multiple Facebook updates and uploaded at least two blog posts.

Yee’s current bail includes a condition that he will not post, upload or otherwise distribute any comment or content, whether directly or indirectly, to any social media or online service or website, while the current case against him is ongoing.

Two Blog posts

The first of two blog posts, titled My Abusive Father, described an altercation Yee had with his father over the choice of clothing he would wear to his first court session. Yee had wanted to wear pyjamas initially, while his father wanted Yee to wear ‘more formal’ clothing to look presentable to the judge.

Yee charged that his father turned violent on him and slammed his head against a table and the floor.

The second blog post, titled The Ridiculous Terms of My Bail, described Yee’s bail terms. One of which was to report to the Investigating Officer Jason Chua at the Bedok Police Station every day at 9 a.m.

In the post, Yee said, “they are saying that if I do not meet Jason Chua for 1 morning, I deserve to be sentenced for 8 months in prison and be fined $20000.”

Facebook postings

Prior to sharing the two blog posts, Yee had first changed his Facebook Page’s display picture, which was then followed by a stream of 10 updates, including sharing the two blog posts:

This was the first written post:

Following which, he questioned why he was ordered to make his YouTube video private, even though he was not found guilty:

He questioned whether the individual who threatened to harm him would be charged:

He corrected a Channel 8 news anchor for mispronouncing his Chinese name and shared the meaning behind his name:

Yee questioned what constituted contravening his bail conditions on not posting anything on social media:

He argued that meeting the IO at Bedok Police Station disrupted his sleep patterns:

He talks about items the police confiscated from him:

He shared some choice words for the prosecutor, judge and IO:

It is not known whether Yee’s bailor will be forfeiting $20,000 after Yee’s postings.

Amos Yee has just clarified on his facebook fanpage that his allegation of molest by his former bailor today was to manipulate the press into waiting for him at the Pasir Panjang MRT.

16-year old blogger, Amos Yee, who was found guilty of two charges brought against him by the Attorney General’s Chambers on Tuesday, 12 May, made an allegation of molest against his former bailor, Mr Vincent Low.

Amos was found guilty of the charge of obscenity and wounding the feelings of Christians in a YouTube video criticising former prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew.

Amos had said earlier in his facebook page status that reporters have been gathering at his doorstep, seeking exclusive interviews and some photos of him.

He went on to say that he should entertain the reporters despite being given advice not to do so and that he would be giving information to reporters on how he was molested by his former bailor.

Mr Vincent Law, a family counselor, has since clarified to TOC that Amos’ allegation against him is false and has no truth whatsoever.

Mr Law had bailed Amos Yee out from police remand on 21 April and subsequently discharged himself as bailor on 30 April, Wednesday.

After 7 hours from his initial posting, Amos wrote another facebook post to clarify that his allegation against his former bailor was his way to troll the media.

Amos wrote,

Yeah… I think some people found out by now… I did, in fact, make use of the voracious desire of the reporters, to xxxx with the mainstream media.

I think it’s pretty obvious when I have arranged a meeting with a person named ‘Dick Ow’, and there is no video game store in Red Hill, at least one that I’m aware of.

I manipulated the press to indulge in the thoroughly exhausting experience of waiting in Pasir Panjang fruitlessly for several hours, which they did with their quote unquote ‘diligence’. They are all quite obscure and hard places to reach in Singapore aren’t they?

And Vincent Law didn’t really molest me, haha. Though he is immensely creepy. I’ll save the specific details for another time.

Yeah it was all a troll, a troll that can only be possible by the inherent stupidity of the media. Have fun!

TOC understands that Mr Vincent Law is still being hounded by reporters from the mainstream media and declined to give a response to Amos’ clarification.

Over the past few hours, many individuals have voiced their disappointment on social media over the allegation made by Amos about Mr Law.

Ravi Philemon, director of a NGO wrote,

“Vincent Law is a youth and family counsellor. Besides the stigma that comes with allegations of sexual misconduct, any such allegation could potentially end his career, and the loss of income as a result of that may adversely affect his family and children. But all these are beyond some inconsiderate 16-year-olds, who think allegations like that are just pranks – never mind the potential harm it may cause the person who tried to help you.”

Damien Chng, legal student and anti-death penalty activist wrote,

“All this nonsense only shows that Amos Yee has issues. I think the false allegation against Vincent deserves to be condemned to the fullest extent. No I still don’t think he deserves to be thrown in jail, because thats not the way to deal with this. The way to deal with this was to have just ignored Amos right from the start.”

Basil Lee, former volunteer at Healthserv who had worked with Mr Law, wrote,

“And even if it is a joke, the distress you caused to the person who has been with alongside you cannot be justified by the fact you claim to ‘manipulate’ the media. In my opnion, this is the highest level of dick-ness.

I can vouch for Vincent Law, and his love for people. Not many people I know will willingly wake up every monday at 5 in the morning every just to have breakfast with someone at the other end of the island. Yet he does it because he cares and loves people.

You never alienate your support system. That is just suicidal.”

刚看了视频，没什么好谈的， 小哥敢于说真话，敬他是条汉子。李家坡的做法也非常李家坡，我并不奇怪。美国在2017年3月24日确认庇护余澎杉，我觉得这可能是李家坡国内民主运动的一个契机，其实大陆也有几次契机，挺可惜的。

天下没有免费得来的民主，不论国籍，我尊重每一个敢于为民主发声的人。当然这话对于西方白左又是另一番景象了。拿民主做挡箭牌，欺负好欺负的，给不好欺负的特权，最后还要保证统治者的最大利益，这就是如今西方所谓的民主，早已病入膏肓。

至于几个答案提到的余澎杉的人品，我从这个8分钟的视频当中并没有看出什么问题。16岁有这样的演讲天赋，我觉得我到26岁，用母语讲也未必有他讲得好。从骨子里的叛逆，反对权威和约定俗成的规定，这是现在这个麻木的社会所缺失的，不管是在东方还是西方。总有人要出来发声，而这个发声的人注定在骨子里就与其他人不一样。

Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

我们可能一生都没有机会改变这个世界，但如果想想，何处不是机会？
