Jailed at 18 – young Malaysian in Hong Kong prison

Thank you Lord for bestowing me strength to continue running. From time to time I really do feel regret, “why did I take up this job?” Was it really worth the money?

I was born in Malaysia. This year I am 19 years old, when I disobeyed the law it was 8th of November 2017. At that time I brought 1535 grams of Ketamine to Hong Kong. I was scared and afraid, but I needed the money because my family was in a poor status. My dad was old and my mum passed away when I was barely 1-year-old.

 

…my heart was troubled, I didn’t want to go to jail! But there was no return! 

Because of my situation I had no other choice but to accept this job. At that time my thought was “you are doing this for money, you just have to pass the gate. Once you are through the gate all will be well.” But at the end I was caught by the police. At that time I didn’t know what to do… the police brought me to the court, my heart was troubled, I didn’t want to go to jail! But there was no return! At the end what is wrong is wrong, only time can change for the better.

I have been in Pik Uk Correctional Institution for four months already. I hope my Malaysian friends will not be as stupid as me, it really was not worth it! Don’t give up important things like time, family, and close friends for just some cash. Don’t make them worry about you anymore.

To the people who are still in this industry, stop doing it! or else you will regret it.
