2.
The family has lived at the reported address since 1978. It is a 30 square metres self-contained public housing unit rented at $834 a month. The abode, partitioned to 1 bedroom and 1 living room, is adequately furnished and tidily kept. The family welcomes the Prisoner's return though the latter is not an authorized person of the above tenancy. The Prisoner should therefore face no immediate housing difficulty should he be discharged.
3.
Coming from a poor and sizeable family, the Prisoner was deprived of proper or adequate parental supervision since childhood. He was educated only up to Form 3 and started to work at 15, to meet the financial hardship of the family. He had worked as an assistant in electrical appliances shop for 11⁄2 year, a shampoo boy for 21⁄2 years and a waiter at various night clubs for about 5 years. It was during nis work at night clubs that the Prisoner began to mix with undesirable people and then became addicted to dangerous drugs. He was sentenced to the Drug Addiction Treatment Centre for 'Robbery and Unlawful Possession'. and later in 1975 was given a bond for 'Being a member of a triad society'. In that same year,
he met and co-habited with Madam CHOI prior to his arrest again for 'Unlawful Possession and Breach of Bond' for which he was given a 3-month sentence. After his discharge, he became a more hard working and reliable person encouraged by the birth of a baby daughter
