  For someone with such a soft demeanor and who speaks so clearly, he would never come across to me as a drug addict who’s been in and out of prison the past 40 years. Wish him all the best in his fight to stay clean. Really glad he is getting a chance to live a normal life.

  Hi everyone, Poh Lim has read your comments. He’s “happy, happy, happy” and would like to thank you for all your encouraging words.

  For his friend, employer and colleagues, thank you for giving him a second chance and treating him as he deserved. And give it for Mom's love, for never giving up on her beloved son. To his sons, I hope they also find closure and if God wills, may they meet each other again and have that long-deserved reunion. Last but not least, if you ever see this... Mr. Poh Lim, Dennis, and other ex-offenders who are turning into a new leaf... yes, we do believe in you. Good luck, never stop believing that you can do it!

  He is not a bad person...he was just unfortunately obsessed with something that took control of him. Everyone of us has a &quot;Drug&quot;. Some are obsessed with their cars, some are obsessed with their handbags, while others are obsessed with eating.<br><br>It&apos;s just unfortunately that substance drugs was what had gotten him. He is no lesser then any of us. He has not given up on himself and that&apos;s the most impt thing.<br><br>I cheer for this man.

  Thumbs up to Poh Lim’s employer and his sister. Without a job, you could imagine how big a struggle he would face. An idling mind is a devil’s workshop…so I would say that his employer really contributed to his success in staying on the right track. Stay strong and God bless, Poh Lim!

  Looks more like (and fitter than!) a police officer than image of an ex-offender. Be strong bro, everyone is rooting for you.

  His sons letter was so heart-felt and heart-breaking. &nbsp;It is a child’s honest declaration of his deepest feelings and I applaud the son for writing this very sincere and honest letter. &nbsp;As someone who cannot connect with her mum I understand how this emptiness feels and <br>how destructive it can be in one’s life. &nbsp;I wish both of them find some closure.

  It was really heartbreaking to hear the relationship (or lack of) he has with his sons. I hope he continues on this path and manages to reunite with his sons soon. All the best!

  Wow! He should do more videos, he can become a successful YouTuber if he stays consistent because his experiences is so interesting. Seeing his surroundings after decades! We should help him to become a traveller with good gear by donating somehow. The catch is that he should regularly post his stories on YouTube for us to admire. The process can also help him stay clean and make a good living. &nbsp;&amp; he is very fit! I wish I can be so fit when I get to his age.
