God intervenes in court case

I have been attending New Creation in Singapore since that church was worshipping Westing Hotel . The reason I stayed in this church is simply because I know Jesus is in this church. I like the services because the Name of Jesus is always lifted up.

Though I am not a member ( if there is such a thing ), I attend regularly and sometimes the mid week Bible Studies too.

I would like to give a testimony to praise the Name of Jesus and give GLORY to the FATHER. I hope that many people get to read it and be edified. I hope to be known as Keith only, because of the sensitivity nature of this testimony.

On the 12 July 2001, my second daughter May went to Johor Bahru to visit some friends and she intended to spent a few days there with them. Unfortunately the next morning 13 Jul there was a raid on the house she was in. That day my 5 month ordeal started.

My 17 year old daughter May, was arrested with her friends because one of the persons there was a Drug pusher and the police found few hundred ecstasy pills hidden in that house. There was also 1 kilogram of heroin found strapped to that man's body. I had no knowledge of my daughter's arrest until my eldest daughter April informed me after her futile search for her sister . It took me about 2 days to located where she was remanded in JB.

Under the Malaysian law , a person could be remanded for 14 days without trial for suspicion of drug related offences and a further 60 days of remand with the courts approval. During these 5 months , my daughter was incarcerated both in Johore and Kuala Lumpur without bail. Bail was refused because of the serious nature of the charges.

May was charged together with few of her friends under section 39(B) which carries a Death Penalty which I enquired later. I was devastated and felt very very lost.

I remember I have a Father who is above all and a Saviour who came to set captives free. I prayed , believe and committed May and the situation to OUR LORD JESUS.

I guess that is the first and most important step that I should take. On my first visit to my daughter in the remand cell, I was assured by May that she had nothing to do with the whole episode. Being the father of my own daughters and knowing each one's character I believed her but I told her that she has brought this ordeal upon herself for the kind of company she was keeping. She was in the wrong place and at the wrong time but then she had to face a very serious charge.

My resources are very limited yet I still had to fight for May so I went shopping for a lawyer to defend her innocence. I did not realize that lawyers in JB was so expensive until one told me personally he wants RM35,000.00 (S$17,000) for his professional fees. I told him that I could not afford him and just left. It was at that time a friend that accompanied me called a friend in JB who is a businesswoman and a Buddhist who after hearing my friend's casual remarks about shopping for a lawyer that she invited us to her home.

After hearing my details , Miss LEE who was not even my friend but a friend's friend s
