On a chain and a prayer


Together again: Chan and his wife Chin.

KOTA KINABALU: Chained to a hut in the jungles of Jolo for four of the six months he was in captivity and moved at least five times amid gunfire, fish breeder Chan Sai Chuin survived his 177-day ordeal by praying.

Thankful that he was unhurt and cared for by his extremist Abu Sayyaf captors, Chan said there were times that he felt his life was in danger.
