According to a report by xinmsn on June 14, 21 Singapore prisoners were allowed to have dinner with their wives and children for the first time, celebrating Father's Day in advance in prison.
In previous years, only family members of prisoners were allowed to visit on Father's Day. This year, Singapore's caring organization, the Family Association, collaborated with the telecommunications company StarHub to host the "Dinner with Dad" event, giving incarcerated prisoners a chance for a brief reunion with their families. As soon as the prison gate opened, the prisoners saw their beloved wives and children.
Hugs and handshakes, expressions of affection, are simply impossible during regular visitation activities. The 21 prisoners could not hide their excitement upon seeing their families, shedding tears of joy. One prisoner, Yusof's wife, Norida, said that the children were very excited to see their father today, so they woke up early.
Norida mentioned that she and the children made a card for her husband, allowing the children to sign it, but unfortunately, they could not hand it to him in person and had to mail it instead. The children all hope that their father will be released soon and see him turn over a new leaf. Yusof was deeply touched by the thoughtfulness of his wife and children. He expressed his gratitude for their willingness to participate in this event and spend time with him, and he loves them very much.
