Jamal’s life took a tumultuous turn after he completed his National Service, leading him into a destructive cycle of substance abuse and crime. Regardless, his story is one of resilience and redemption. Having battled five incarcerations, he found hope through HCSA Community Services.
Joining HCSA Highpoint, he obtained a Class 3 license and underwent programmes aimed at reintegrating into society, eventually working as a driver.
Furthermore, through aftercare initiatives like AIMS where he actively participates in support groups, he found solace and was motivated by a sense of satisfaction in helping himself and others.
Despite facing challenges and setbacks, including the loss of his mother shortly after release, he remains determined to stay on the path of self-improvement and recovery at age 60, fueled by the promise he made to be better for her.
