It is hardly surprising that the relapse rate among ex-offenders in Singapore is considerable given the discrimination they face when applying for jobs. In spite of the lofty aims of The Yellow Ribbon Project to engage the community to help ex-convicts reintegrate into society, most employers are unwilling to hire them owing to fear, distrust and discrimination. Do you agree?
Yellow ribbon started in 2005?.

The Govt doesn't "walk the talk" because Civil Service jobs are not open to ex-offenders. Instead, our leaders want the private and charity sectors to absorb those with criminal records.

Unfortunately, with our leaders, it is "do as they say and not do as they do". How often have the MIW led by example?
