Ex-death row inmate grateful for second chance in life

FOR four-and-a-half years, a Malaysian man was in Changi prison on drug charges, including nine months on death row after he was convicted and the death sentence was passed on him.

Beh Chew Boo, 38, had maintained his innocence, saying he was not aware of the drugs in the Malaysia-registered motorcycle he was riding and which he had borrowed from a friend in Johor Baru.
