Saw Sam’s redemption


Changed world: Sam (right) walking down Petaling Street with Rumah Petros house leader Martin Claude Balhetchet.

A lesson learnt from Sam, who was recently pardoned, was to never give up. For me, it was very emotional to know that his biggest campaigners were the prison wardens themselves.

IT is very rare indeed – probably unheard of – to have prison officials campaigning hard to seek the release of a prisoner but that was precisely what happened.
