An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
SINGAPORE: In response to a Facebook post by blogger Roy Ngerng alleging that YouTuber Amos Yee is in remand due to a breach of bail conditions, the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) has clarified that Yee is remanded "because there is no bailor".
In his Facebook post, Ngerng said: "The bail terms are ridiculous. Amos was not allowed to post anything at all. When asked how his latest posts meant he violated the bail terms, I understood it was said that the content was 'irrelevant' and he has violated the bail terms anyway, and so had to be remanded."
The AGC said Yee "is remanded not because of breach of bail conditions", but because no one posted bail.
The AGC added that Yee's bail is in "non-cash terms". "In other words, the bailors need not deposit the cash value with the Court."
"Instead, they have to pledge that they are good for the money and demonstrate that they are able to effectively ensure attendance of the accused and also ensure his compliance with bail conditions," a spokesperson for AGC said.
The spokesperson added that the earlier requirement that only Yee's parents can furnish bail has been lifted by the court, at the suggestion of the Public Prosecutor.
