“Where did you get those tattoos from?”

“In Pudu jail. It was 1973, when I was 19 years old. I was doing drugs back then and I regretted it – I was young and didn’t know any better. I was there for two years and life after has been difficult. I don’t miss Pudu at all. After I got out, I had a job as a painter but that did not last. You see this (medicine) pills here? I have been taking them for 40 years already, to keep my health stable. And they’re very expensive! Until now I am unmarried, without a job, and the police here are charging me RM 100 to get a new IC over my broken one, can you believe that? In any case, I tell you, do not do drugs. That one mistake has affected my entire life. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
Once you try…. you’re gone.”
