prevalent discrimination against the ex-convicts in Singapore. But how many times have we ourselves fall short and made horrible mistakes, yet we seemed to be the modern-day hypocritical Pharisees, judging and denying them a second chance to live a normal life, based on our assumed sense of superior sanctity, that we neglect the tremendous impact it has on them and our society.

We all recognise that the first settlers came to Australia on the First Fleet, but in fact there were many European convicts that arrived on different ships. There were many challenges that they had to face when they reached Australia. The main challenges were dealing with the lack of food, extreme isolation and surviving with the Indigenous Australians. These issues all proved to be…
