How Boon Keng turned his life around from his past! | Tuesday Report: Restart 星期二特写：重启 EP5 (Finale)

At 36, Boon Keng had a troubled past involving drug abuse, theft, fraud and four incarcerations, causing his family to distance themselves, except for his mother. The passing of his mother prompted Boon Keng to turn his life around. Now, committed to hard work, charity, and a new relationship, he strives to rebuild acceptance from both his family and society in this revitalized phase of his life. 36岁的程文庆曾经因为吸毒、偷窃、诈骗等罪行，坐牢四次。家人离他而去，唯有母亲不离不弃。他屡次重犯，看似无药可救，却因为母亲的逝世，痛定思痛，而决定洗心革面。往后，他人生大翻转，努力工作，为慈善削发筹款，参与黄丝带义跑，还寻获新恋情。重启人生后，他是否重获家人与社会的接纳与认同？

I followed your story since CNA. I'm proud of you for staying focussed and knowing what you want in your life. Remember, Boon Keng, no matter how tough your life may be in future, or any hardships you may face, there is always a solution to your problems. Let your strong mind be your leader in times of darkness, remember to stay clear of the bad influences and never turn your head back to your past. 加油！❤

[@Angel-wc7dd]

Boon Keng, I pray that your future will become brighter and brighter. You have kindness and compassion. God bless you.

I followed your story in CNA. So proud of how you have decided to walk out of your old life to your new life. You have given yourself a chance to change for good. You are a great testimony and example to many. We are cheering you on. Whatever is the past is your story, which you can share with those who are still stuck. Let them know it is possible when they make a decision to turn to a new direction with determination and be connected with the right group of influence. Your future is brighter and greater ahead of you. Keep running this race, God is watching over you , He loves you even when you dont feel or see him. He is actually with you all this time, cheering for you!

As someone that follow him through CNA- maximum security season 1 and 2. I feel a pity that he left his hotel full time job to an ad hoc job (there is nothing wrong with ad hoc job but just job sercurtity). But after this episode, i believe Boon Keng will succeed! There are many other mentors there to guide and help him, those are very good support. All the best boon keng!

Not really. The station was named after Lim Boon Keng, a chinese physician who contributed to Singapore. Just a conincidence.

i thought is Boon Keng Road Founder.

[@michaellim8464]

I witnessed a violent gang class in my younger days in the sixties and live to tell you my story. I was walking home from school on that day. I was in primary four from Jervious Primary School and was in my yellow shirt and blue short carrying my school bag ( a small suitcase) and stop at sarabat stall at the junction next to Thye Hong Biscuit factory. I was only there for a short while when I heard people shouting very loudly - Don't Run. Stop There!. Turning my head to the left I saw a group of twenty people carrying poles and parangs chasing another twenty something people without any weapons. Suddenly they stopped at the sarabat store where I was standing. I saw the group without weapons grabbing beer bottles lying on the tables and chairs and they started fighting with the group. They will screaming at top of their voices as I saw poles and parangs being hurled at group while empty bottles and chairs will hurled in returned. It was like a scene in the Chinese movies right in front of me as I stand motionless and watching their frenzy eyes that they don't even see me as they will fighting. Suddenly the group without the parangs and poles seem to lost the battle and start to run away with the other chasing after them shoutings - Don't Run! and they disappeared after a short distance leaving me bewildered.

[@deschan2246]

He look healthier in prison 😂

[@besottedbelovedlovely2560]

His mother is right.. If he work..how low is his salary is Spend less n save abit In long term Accumulate quite alot.. Glad he get rid of his past n drugs.. N dont mix with tht type of gangs..as thy dont want to change...

[@tyq6515]

is it just me or does he kinda resembles the late chester bennington?

[@evorevok1767]

a bit la

[@yukotan4528]

Yes he does to me

[@user-vx5bu8tr5y]

浪子回头, 金不换。

[@joweeng4933]

And now he is the proud owner of a MRT station.

[@Aidanhatessquan]

Haha

[@AvadaKedavraSpell69]

Boon keng mrt

[@Duperman2494]

Why did the production team feel like they needed to show bk topless with his tattoos at the beginning? Stereotyping people with tattoos as gangsters? Are we right now in the 80s/90s?

[@MrHahacs57]

Wise man once said "慈母多败儿" Spare the rod, spoilt the kid. Im glad u are awake now.

[@jiakeng88jkt]

I think his mum is good but his dad is quite pathetic. A dad should nv say his son is useless to anyone no matter how misbehave the son is. But lucky he have his mum unwavering love otherwise i dont think boon keng will change.

[@aaronzheng9772]

Joke. His choice. Get down on your high horse.

[@twiztid133]

Cofm go back in

[@user-yc5hq2xd1o]

Definitely, he is hopeless

[@user-yc5hq2xd1o]

神经病，坐牢4次，肯定又会回去的😢

[@adolf12345]

Bruh so like all of us la. Nth fucking special about this guy

[@moonstarsun633]

Only difference he was in and out changi chalet four times. He is now just like normal people like us and this should be the way. He is willing turn s new leaf.

[@Acewincash]

@@moonstarsun633the turning over a new leaf part is the hardest. Not everyone can do it

[@btcharlee9727]

There are people who build you up and then there are people who try and put you down. Never shit on someone who is trying to do something positive, says a lot about your own character to do so.
