Family of Malaysian in Singapore's death row write an open letter to presidential candidates...


We, the family members of Yong Vui Kong, are writing this letter all of you because you may be the face representing all Singaporeans as the President.We are extremely guilty and sorry that Vui Kong has harmed Singaporeans as a result of him being tricked into drug trafficking.

After embracing Buddhism in jail, Vui Kong has since repented his actions. He has vowed to dedicate the rest of his life to counseling prisoners and educating the public about the perils of drug trafficking. He wants to contribute to Singapore’s battle against drug trafficking as his redemption.

The pious Vui Kong sees his death sentence as his karma and is not afraid of dying. He however cannot let go of our mother who has suffered depression for years. We don’t have the wisdom as Vui Kong does. We are just normal human beings. We cannot see our loved one walking to the gallows with calmness.

We want him to live. Every morning, we are grateful that Vui Kong is alive for another day. However, every day, we are also worried that he may just leave us the next day. More...
