Yee, a Singaporean teenager who was jailed twice after insulting the island's late leader Lee Kuan Yew and religious groups, has been granted political asylum in the United States, his US lawyer said on March 25, 2017. Yee, 18, shocked Singaporeans in March 2015 after posting an expletive-laden video attacking Lee as the founding prime minister's death triggered a massive outpouring of grief in the city-state.
