Dan’s Journey from Heroin to Hope
Once trapped in a cycle of addiction and incarceration, Mohamad Riduan Bin Ishak (also known as Dan) has rebuilt his life with faith, discipline, and a powerful drive to uplift others walking a similar path.

I was looking at the recent posters from Health Hub Singapore, aiming to encourage Singaporeans to start moving towards our health goals.
One of the posters showed a healthy and cheerful looking father with his daughter, swapping out fast food for a delicious and well balanced home cooked meal. The caption read in bold, “Turn One Day into Day One”.
It is hard to believe that the man playing the father in the poster, Mohamad Riduan Bin Ishak, or better known as Dan amongst his friends, was once a drug addict. He was sent to the rehabilitation centre twice and eventually, sentenced to prison for 6 years with three strokes of the cane.
But it was never just for one time. The nature of Heroin is entrapping, chaining users to its stone hard grip. The final time he was arrested, he was sent to prison with three strokes of the cane.
