Roy Ngerng: I am not trying to seek asylum
Hello, I’ve been asked to clarify about an article on Anyhow Hantam: [ LINK
]
You can read it if you haven’t. In it, the following was said: ” Roy wants to
be a martyr and seek asylum. Is he who ask me to help him one.”
I would like to clarify that this incident has never happened.
Please let me explain what I’ve been going through. The past week or so has
been a roller coaster ride. Today is especially distressful.
I believe that if one would not need to go through such an experience, most
would choose not to. I would be glad if I could go on in my daily life,
advocating for fairer and kinder policies.
When I started writing 2 years ago, it was because I got to a stage in life
where I felt at ease and at peace with myself. I saw the stresses that others
felt and hoped that if I could advocate for a change of policies, more people
could live happier lives.
That was why I started writing.
As more people read my articles, I realised that I have a further
responsibility to raise more awareness, so that we could continue to improve the
lives of one another.
My closest family and friends have asked many times why I choose to do this.
I told them that it is only because I am able to. I am able to research, put
things together and write about them. That’s why I do what I do. Some people are
better at other things. I just happen to be good at writing.
I wish that Anyhow Hantam could have spoken to me, for if he/she/they did,
they could find out more about my life and my reasons for doing things.
My friends laugh at me when I say this but I tell them, “I write because I
just want to be happy, so that everyone can be happy.” And this is the simple
truth.
The past week has been a very unexpected journey and something that I would
never imagine that I would go through. I knew that with my writings, at some
point, I will face threats. But even then, when it actually happens, going
through such an experience is still one that one can never prepare for.
I thank everyone for your well-wishes, support and encouragement. It means a
lot and has helped me to go through every step of the way. I have remained
strong and will continue to remain strong. I’ve always lived my life with the
belief that if I do what is right and I stay true to myself, things will be
alright.
And I hope they will be.
Thank you for being here with me on every step of the journey, in each and
every capacity you can. I thank you. And I hope for the best.
