16:20 “The court sentenced us for few years, the society sentenced us for a life sentence.” So true and heartbreaking ☹️💔

“Sometimes the nicest people are covered in tattoos and the fakest are the ones accepted by society”

"Gang is one of the career paths, but the future is prison. "

The guy in black was my favourite

The two older people look so innocent

The Indian lady is doing so much more for the homeless in Singapore than most of us!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!! We believe in you aight ❤️❤️❤️

Heartwarming to see that they’ve found joy and purpose in giving back to society. We are all rooting for you!!!

Can we just appreciate how Tharman, his wife and the singer Henry Chen that he mentioned, helped him and supported him all the way. Didn’t look down on him, believed in him and yet us people keep judging them and stuff like people really need to reflect on the things they say to these people. Everyone makes mistakes as cliche as it sounds but it’s true. They have feelings too and i think everyone play a big part on shaping these people too because if you’re a boss of a company and you look down on them you don’t recruit them because they went to jail before you are not giving them any hope and you make them feel like going back to gang because they have no job no nothing in life.

16:17 “The court sentenced us for few years the society sentenced us for a life sentence” This line gave me chills..

Feel like that guy in gray shirt can be a really good homie

The guy in black knows how to tell a story very well

Walao 11 points for N levels in prison while I got 11 points for N levels aswell with the comfort of a library and tuition, mad respect my dude 👍🏿👍🏿

omg i love this series "Can Ask Meh?".. keep it up! you guys are doing a good job!

I was sent to prison previously for drug possession and consumption. After serving my due, I decided to change over a new leaf and got myself a proper job. One day I overslept and was going to be late for work. When the feeder bus stopped at the MRT station , I quickly dashed down the escalator to the MRT. Maybe I was on my earphones then, I didn't hear anyone calling out to me. Suddenly I felt a firm grip on my shoulders. I stopped in my tracks, and 4 Transcom police officers were behind me. I took out my ear phones, and asked "yes sir?" First answer from one of them " Why you run away from us?" As I was passing my NRIC to them, I tried to explain that I was running to catch the train as I was late for work, and that I didn't hear them as I had my earphones on. The officer screening my IC then told his other colleagues "this subject just released last year for drug offences." The others then said "we need to search your bag." I asked the officers if we could go to a room or office to conduct the search, and the reply I got was a cold and curt "why? if you have nothing to hide why u scared that we search here?" The sight of 4 policeman searching the bag of a guy with tattoos was good enough to draw unwanted attention from the morning MRT crowd, and I could only keep my fingers crossed that I didn't bump into any friends or relatives. After the search, no apologies, no nothing. just a simple"Ok u can go now" So now, like what Whye Kee said "The court sentence us to a few years in prison, but the society give us the life sentence.

"if prison was the best way to change us, we would have changed the first time we went to prison" wow. love this series btw! it's so enlightening hearing from the unheard and commonly misunderstood in the society

I lost it when the Indian lady said “ see everybody smile before I close my eyes ” 😢

Cant imagine the auntie is a ex con , just look like a nice grandmother who gives out sweets to small children

I like how that guy says "educate society about drugs and gangs, not against drugs and gangs" and I stand for this guy really. Also he open up how they get screen in public places and yes the police are very polite but I get how they'd feel if it becomes a routine.. a reoccurring thing that they always have to be checked like I'm sure youngsters could relate. I wouldn't like it either if my mum kept nagging the same thing even though she knows I've made improvements etc but yeah.. and of course police officers are doing their job but yeah like he said there's no way to have better approach or way on that aspect. To those who categories as being suspicious just Because they have ink on their skin and walk and behave a certain way, stay strong ! Just know that there are people in the society who does not judge you just because of that ! 😊✌️🙆🔥💛

The interviewees speak so well. It is a very inspiring interview and each person's moment of redemption is so unique and so personalized. So happy for all here and praying and hoping for perseverence all the way! Could we have a link to the pottery done by one of the interviewees? Would love to see his art....

16:17 really like hearing the way he speaks and how he expresses himself,,really humorous too hahahah

dang, despite low crimes they take their criminal seriously there! kuddos to them, and kuddos to all participant, I believed you all already clean all your way out, and grandma! dang chill out! your younger self is wild!

the guy in grey and black shirt definitely will really good to hang out with

Tharman is seriously such PM material sigh. I respect him so much

The way the pottery guy lights up when he talks about teaching the children pottery is so precious ❤️

"I can dream again" That makes me sad.. and inspirational :')

To the guy in the black shirt, you're an amazing speaker and I think you're cute

Whye Kee seems to be a fun guy to hangout with, the way he talks really entertains me

Watching this while studying criminology really gives me ideas to write my essay on punishments. Thank you guys for broadening my mind not only for my essay but also on life in general, 😭😭😭😭😭

Wow what the first 2 said about “Don’t blame parenting” left an impression. Taking ownership of your choices is the first right thing to do!

The guy in the black shirt is such an entertaining speaker! I am glad they are all doing better for themselves. I hope this serves as a reminder to people to not treat people who have been in prison differently, they have already paid the price for their crimes, isolating them socially and financially on the outside only makes them more likely to re-offend.

As a former Journalist, it's not easy for me to feel emotionally engaged, all in the name of objectivity. However, this particular episode definately struck a chord. It's heart wrenching yet heart warming at the same time. Folks often criticise local productions but down to earth and sincere series like this makes us proud of local media. As I wipe the remnant of my tears off my face, I will like to offer a big thanks for your labor of love. 加油！ And to former convicts, if you haven't given up on yourself, there are enough of us out there who will give you a chance to be the best version of yourself. 加油 too!

Can Ask Meh? is one of my favorite series that i have ever stumbled upon on, very raw and i appreciate all the honesty. Please keep this series going!

what beautiful life stories! sad at first, but I'm glad they're all doing better now. I like how the questions go further than just their times in prison. In a way it helps see their humanity so much clearer, because from the perspective of someone like me I feel like I would judge them. I realize that that is wrong now. I love how at the end they all talk about the ways they sow positivity back into the world. Very inspiring.

I hope that all of ladies and gentlemen in this video have blissful life and find the strength to fight the temptation. 😊

The lady with tattos got a great flow. She can rap....

5:10 “Whats you gang?” “Im from 214” “ oh 241 is over there” THIS PART ACTUALLY HAD ME CRYING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

"I dont believe in bad people. I believe in bad choices."

Inmates don’t get enough credit when they turn over They become such beautiful people who fulfil their dreams and continue on with life We’re all behind you guys!!

wow this really makes you wonder if that random makcik across the street was in prison before. I love these stories.

singapore gangster speak good angmoh and score damn good for national exam, all that happened was the wrong things at the wrong time.

“ I want to see everybody smile including me before I close my eyes “ my heart felt to the ground

Isn't it incredible that all their purposes in life now have something to do with helping others, giving back to society, and thinking beyond themselves? There is something so fulfilling about helping others that it can take people off paths of addiction, hopelessness, isolation and meaninglessness. It's so beautiful to see them be there for others.

When i see these interviewees, they are so intelligent and articulate. They could be just any person living among us. So wonderful. What an inspiration for them to be successful today.

bloody amazing. a video that hasn’t been done and rarely touched in singapore. thank you for making this video.

17:18 "If prison was the best way to change our lives, we would've changed when we were inside for the first time."

Such an awesome video! I really like this series...you guys are doing a great job!More please!

Good job guys This is the third video of yours that I watched Keep going! The black shirt guy is so good at talking I wish all of them have happy life

"Gangster mah, face value"😂

Whye Kee should become a counselor for juvenile offenders...

The most important is: This type of content should be broadcast on the TV on every top leading TV channel on every government on every country on this whole world rather than they broadcast the everyday fake news.

Wow! I’m blown away on the content about this video m of ex-offenders who are given a second chance in life to make things right for their family and for themselves. So happy that they finally found their purpose in life. I wish nothing but the best to them in whatever they do and hope that society can give them a second chance. More of this such content! Keep up the good work OGS! 💯🤙🏼

Thank you for doing these videos and for the people sharing the stories it really helps us at least start to acknowledge the wider parts that compose of our society

Its heartwrenching and warming both at the same time. To see these people moving on from their past and finding back meaning in life itself. What spoke to me most is that it's never our parents fault. We carry the fault as we rush through the fire despite knowing the consequences and severity of the situation. May God bless these ppl and thank you for the wonderful sharing (:

such great lessons for society! lets be people who listen to what goes beyond the surface and who believe that people can change ! huge thanks to all the interviewees who shared their stories!

Thank you OGS, this is a wonderful series- quality content, with very genuine interviewees. I always look forward to new videos.

Thanks guys, for making this video.. and salutations to those who have openly talked about your experience.. i hope ppl share this video. 🙏

Thank you for producing this video and shining on the importance of human values no matter what the background is. Going to prison should not lower one's value in life, and we all deserve a second chance in life. We should never doubt their capabilities, rather, show them the way to a better path.

Thank you for sharing their stories. Thank you interviewees for being so brave and still carry on giving back to our society despite how the rest of us treat you on a daily basis.

so, so strong! teared up watching this video and really admire their courage to try their best to return to society despite the stigma. it's tough but you guys are much tougher, great job for hanging in there :)

It’s so beautiful to hear these stories from people just like you and me. But at the end of the day their stories are unfathomable. What they have gone through. I’m glad they are out.

Awesome video again. Almost every video made my cry. Sometimes of sadness sometimes of happiness. Great job. Keep doing these videos!

Thank you, really, for the video. Wow that is awfully deep. Really appreciate the interviewees' open hearted yet vulnerable voice. It's never easy to open up on such personal stories 😔 Really heartwarming to see the channel unfold to this level. Can only imagine how much work your team had to pull through to this point 👍👍👍

Thank you for sharing your heart warming stories. There is always good in everyone's hearts and I believe in second chances. Thank you for giving back to society and being so positive about life. May you all be blessed in your ways 💕

I just want to give all of them a big bear hug. A big thank you to this series and the guests for being so truly open and honest about what must've been a painful journey but a valuable insight.

Kingsley looks like a homie that would give you life advices

A thousand thumbs up. Thank you for making this. Amazing!

Inspiring interviews and some parts made me tear. Really love your videos. Keep up the good work and keep it real.

Leave the past behind and fight on!! We are all here for you guys. 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️

super insightful and mind-opening to all of us (the public)!!! im so happy to see more and more people breaking the stigma of excons and more willing to give them another chance in the society. not just excons but people with tattoos, ex addicts, etc. i believe as more people speak up, more will listen and accept :) i hope this video brings hope and a glimpse of light to anybody feeling helpless. do not give up!!! 🍀

*We are born with one choice which is no choice but plenty of choices after.* We determine who we are and what we want to become. Thank you for sharing this video.

Thank you to the producers, staff and everyone participating in the video for sharing this with us. Its really really important to get the message across that convicts have lives too, and hearing all their stories really made me rethink about how i view them.

Thank you thank you for talking n sharing. All your thoughts n comments make so much sense. MORE People need to hear them. You are paying back to our society w kindness n care now. How humble.. n admirable. God bless you all 🙏🏼🌈

I can't even... When the Indian lady was talking about her being unable to poop.

This series is extremely good, I can't get enough of it 😩

Thank you guys for the guts and honestly telling the truth through your experience. May all of you had a more peaceful and happy life now. God bless

Thank you to all who have shared your story so honestly and vulnerably. You have shown me so much more than what my eyes can see, and I wanna be part of the society that does not sentence and judge you based on your past!

This is one of my favourite episodes, thank you for this wonderful insight. It is very sensitive and thoughtful.

It's all circumstance. People who have done real harm to others still roam unapologetically free and people who sincerely repent are still burdened by their past. I genuinely hope all of you find peace and happiness. Thank you for sharing, it's been humbling.

Thanks to those in the video for being so authentic... you truly allowed us a peak into what you went through with your sincere sharing. You're well heard and loved. God Bless.

Thanks so much Our Grandfather Story for making this video. All of you featured are so courageous and beautiful! I just really want to say sorry for the times you have been rejected, interrupted and not supported in society. Everyone should be given a listening ear and support and nothing you do should change how much love you can give and can receive. Hold your heads high for now you walk as beacons of hope for others and yourself. Reject old ways with a passion because you are new everyday! Thank you for showing us what love means. I am truly moved. All of you are so important!

Thank you for sharing wuth us..showing us everyone have a second chance. All the best

They are really relatable, I believe they will be excellent counsellors. No one can do this job better than those who have experienced it, hang in there alright!

touching video, great point on giving back to the society, helping those in need and its never too late to turn over a new leaf, live life with meaning. Great job for all the interviewees!

wonderful video!! the channel & this series of videos, they have been so enlightening and entertaining to watch!! excited for more 🙌🏽🙌🏽

This channel deserves more subscribers yo

wow... the level of experiences shared is well beyond what normal civilians who have never broken the law & landed in jail. Very inspirational stories & outlook shared. In fact it's only these people who have experienced the flip side of society (I.e. discrimination) that can point out the flaws of the gov, society, people in general

This is one of the great message sent out to the youngsters to not involve in gang and drugs. Kudos for the people who made this vidso ❤️

Such beautiful effort taken by OGS crews... this video will be an awareness to everyone... his word “ court gave us sentences but society gave us lifetime sentences “ no words just tears.... I highly appreciate everyone in this video to be so bold and brave answering each n every question genuinely... 👏👏👏👏👏.... I love you guys🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

first thing come in mind after done watching this video is that i want to be friends with everyone. deep inside them is something that i would like to know more about. i like it so much

Is so sad to see when she say she only see tears last time and now she want to see only happy faces...hugs🙆🏻‍♀️

Wow! OGS is really one of the underrated platforms in Singapore. I really hope yall get the audience size and recognition you deserve. hats off to the production team behind this. Seeing this side of Singapore that I had no clue about was really eye opening.

💜🙌🏽👍🏽🙏🏽 this channel is awesome, eye opener, guiding light & walk in someone’s shoe. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for sharing your story! So brave and so proud of every one to your scars

Sometimes it is these people that are stronger than us "civil & normal" people because of what they have been through. Respect

"Educate people about dugs and gangs. Not against drugs, against gangs." I feel this sentence deep in my soul broooo

Thanks for making this video, it’s really amazing to be able to listen about past experiences and for them to be heard

“Gang is a career path, but the future is prison” wow.

Love this series. Please keep it up!

really really meaningful, thank you
