First congrats bro to your new US citizenship

I might not get TS reply but I really wants to know how you foreseen Malaysia in this coming 5 years and 10 years time?

The judge must be a closet islamophobic as well.

Actually my judge, Judge Lee O'Connor, is one of the toughest judges you could get.

I told my lawyer, "OMG, this guy has a super-low approval rate, are we going to be okay!?"

My lawyer said, "Stay cool, we do our best, just remember what we rehearsed."

My lawyer was very good, he spent hours Skyping me and rehearsing before the trial, with him playing the government attorney cross-examining me on my BKT case, just to make sure I said all the right things.

Turns out, my case was one of the 4% he approved.

This puts into perspective just how hard it is to actually get asylum from a US judge.

The asylum system is so clogged up with BS/fabricated claims from bad actors that the approval rates are very very low.

This is why I would never encourage anyone to follow my path.

Your chances of success are actually very low.

Correct, you can't deny the veracity of my claims, due to the mountain of evidence.

The #1 reason why asylum cases are denied is because they simply don't have evidence corroborating their claims.

So it's their word vs. the judge's willingness to believe them, and most judges don't take these claims seriously:

"Oh, I was harassed by extremist groups in my country."

"Oh, the police beat me up for protesting."

"Oh, they tried to put me in jail for being homosexual."

Easy for anyone to say anything without proof or documentation.

In my case, my lawyer asked his assistant to print out every single possible media article on my case (of which there were hundreds) and submit all of it as evidence.

With all the evidence, the only remaining thing to do is to determine if my case falls within the definition of asylum, which it did.

I know in Malaysia mocking religion is considered sedition or a crime, but in the US it's considered unthinkable to even fine someone for their social media posts, let alone throw them in prison.

I was also lucky that I got a sensible judge instead of a woke SJW activist judge.
