</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

I REFER to Wednesday's report, 'From teen gang member to future cop'. I must say this is one of the many reasons I am proud to be a Singaporean. Singapore believes in giving former law offenders a second chance.
I have often heard of companies rejecting job applicants just because they had a criminal record. It pains me that this still happens in our modern society. Are we so backward that we must brand those who made mistakes in their lives? Does meritocracy no longer matter? Does it mean these people are 'hopeless', no matter how hard they work or study?
Singapore believes itself to be meritocratic, where one is recognised based on one's ability rather than one's background. I do not see why this cannot be applied to ex-offenders. When we are young, we tend to be rash in our decisions, so mistakes are bound to happen. However, it is when we learn from these mistakes that we become better people. Granted, these ex-offenders made worse mistakes than most, but who is to say they cannot become better people after their ordeal?
I believe everyone deserves a second chance. If these ex-offenders are able to realise their mistakes and repent, I am sure they can work as well as anyone, and maybe better.
Which is why when the Ministry of Home Affairs granted a former gangster a Home Team Merit award, it has set an example for Singapore to follow - that everyone deserves a second chance.
