Singapore, Mar 31 (IBNS) A 16-year-old Singapore teenager, who was arrested for allegedly posting expletive-laden video in Youtube where he attacked country's late PM Lee Kuan Yew and Christianity , has been charged on Tuesday, media reports said.

"Amos Yee Pang Sang, clad in a black T-shirt and beige pants, faces three charges which were committed last Friday and Saturday," The Straits Times reported.

"The teen, who was not represented, allegedly uploaded content online which contained remarks against Christianity with the deliberate intention of wounding the religious feelings of Christians," the newspaper said.

The teenager was arrested on Sunday.

The pre-trial conference into the case will take place on Apr 17.

Singapore's former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew breathed his last on Mar 23.

He was 91.
