I needed to participate in this thread.

Firstly, congrats and continue your hustle. Really a nice comeback and also a great reminder how fast time passed.

Its been 10 years since and many of us in /k are already reaching late 30s or 40s liao.

his road is definitely not easy.

10 years starting from scratch, im happy for him.

we must eventually own up the shit we make.

Banyak kah their tax ?

I am just saying this because many people here hail him as a successful hero.

But can you imagine the sacrifices he made? He can't see his parents or his siblings. He would have to fly to Spore to see them, or they fly to USA, or they meet mid way in Japan.

Are all that necessary? what he did? He was an ASEAN scholar. I do not doubt he is smart. As an undergraduate from NUS, by the way, not easy to get in, mind you, leave alone on scholarship.

Screwed up over a video and then later BKT.

Was all that necessary?

He could have just played naughty a little, go have sex but no need to tape and publicise lah. Then graduate, then worked his way up in Spore, probably can get green card in USA. And still be able to fly back and visit his family.

All this for what? why glorify ? But at least he has his saving grace that everything worked well for him.

True everyone thought it is almost impossible to get green card. But if you follow the politics closely, there is a battle between leftist and conservative in USA. Leftist are trying to make it easy for refugees to come, because they want to create more democrat supporters. The playing field in the election is almost even. maybe 60m voters on democrats, 60m on republicans and another 30m fence sitters. So the democrats are trying to create more democrat voters.

I watched youtube, before Trump took over, refugees just stop by the mexican border, download app, and apply, then can masuk. Once masuk, they've got all those NGO provide free food, lodging....of course not easy life lah, its still hard. But better than now, Trump now shut down totally.

depend on which state you stay but generally quite jialat

KUALA LUMPUR: An arrest warrant has been issued by a Sessions Court here today on controversial sex blogger Alvin Tan, who has since been missing after leaving to Singapore on May 18 to shoot a film documentary.

Judge Abdul Rashid Daud was informed by Tan's lawyer, Chong Joo Tian that his client could not be contacted and has yet to return his passport to the court.

Tan's partner Vivian Lee‎, however, was present in court and had handed over her passport to the court on June 3.

The duo had made an application to the court last month requesting for their passports to be released, as they were offered an opportunity to film a documentary in Singapore.

Great that it all turns out well.

That moment where you were granted asylum must have been the most important moment of your life.
