16 – 18 June 1987
As the day of reckoning approached, I tried very hard to condition my mind to accept a detention order so as not to be disappointed. The thought that by some miracle, I would be released, however, refused to go away.
19 June 1987
At about 7 p.m. in the interrogation room, DSP Lim handed me the press release from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
I felt as if I was reading my examination results on the notice board. Vincent was to be detained for two years and 11 of us… were served with one-year detention orders. If my friends were promised early release if we appeared on television, they would have been as disappointed as me.
