Firdaus : 13 years old Stateless Child

Hi, I'm Firdaus. I want to share my experience of visiting my father in prison.

One day, my aunt and I went to the prison. When we were about to enter, we were given a receipt at the police hut. After that, we went into the visiting area. We had to wait our turn, and there was a small shop there, but everything was expensive.

When I met my father, I asked how he was, and he told me he was doing okay. After that, he spoke with my grandmother, but not for long because the visiting time was short. He then asked us to buy some food, and we gave him some money for his expenses. We left after that because the visit time was over. We can only visit him once a month.

I love and miss my father. Hai, aku Firdaus. Aku mau cerita pasal pengalamanku lawat bapaku di penjara.

Hari itu aku dan Mak Cik pergi ke penjara, semasa ingin masuk ke dalam penjara, kami dibagi (1) resit di pondok polis. Selepas itu, kami masuk ke tempat melawat. Kami kena tunggu giliran dan di sana ada kedai kecil tapi barangnya semua mahal.

Ketika berjumpa bapa, aku tanya khabarnya dan dia beritahu yang dia ok (2) juga. Selepas itu, dia bercakap dengan nenekku, tapi ndak (3) lama sebab sekejap sahaja masa melawat. Selepas itu, dia minta belikan makanan dan kami bagi duit untuk belanja. Selepas itu, kami pulang sebab masa lawatan sudah habis. Kami hanya boleh lawat dia sebulan sekali sekali sahaja.

Aku sayang dan rindu bapaku.
