    Alvin, it is really very brave of you to come forward to relate your drug addiction experience. You are fortunate that your stay at the halfway house was productive. Furthermore your wife's faith in you caused you to give up the drug habit. To marry her the second time brought your life with your children and her to a happy closure. Currently you can hold your head high and bring hope to others who have such problems.

    Mr. Chiong saved not only his but most importantly his families life. I do respect him for that.

    This guys didnt fail in life its the system that has failed them school aithorities social workers what were u people doing when this kids were doing drugs n dropped out of school so early

      Rknin Rknin I just want to say that the system requires people to cooperate and want to be changed. What can your school and social workers do when individuals do not see that it is an issue and do not want to change? School and the social system plays an important role yes, but upbringing and willingness of the individuals plays an important role too. Rehabilitation and recovery is not easy and takes both hands to clap, the individual & the system.

      @@Msunflowersecrets this kids mostly come from broken or disfuncyional families n homes their parents or families may not be the best people to guide them n the kids being so young thenselves cant defrenciate between right or wrong bec they do feel no one cares some may even come from abusive homes n thats y i said that it is the job of social workers n the school to see no child looses his way n the schools can step in to inform aithourities if they feel something is not right with the child this is ensure every child in singapore gets the right protection n education being a small island i dont think this task wld have been so difficult ps do u know only in recent years attending school has been made compulsory which means in early 70s eighthys it was not compulsory sad isnt it for such a developed country education was not made mandatory

    Suicide is never the solution to any problem. No matter how bad it seems there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    Hi 5 brother. Continue to inspire in His Spirits. Our Lord is merciful. In bad times look up to our Lord. Hope we can cross path one day n meet in person. Meantime keep it up it is worth remarrying the wife. Wise move. That's truly love from a woman.

      There is no GOD, Jesus is just an ordinary person like you and me, there is no logic worshipping someone that is claimed to be God

      @@9191-x5j Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions about the existence of God. I can only share with you an emergency tip, some day you will definitely need it! Let say, one day you get into challenging situation that no one can help you, try calling out by saying "Lord Jesus! If you are real, save me." And from there you will know who Christ is!
