SMU Vice President, Business Development and External Relations, Associate Professor Annie Koh commented that the degree of openness an organisation has in sharing with their staff that they hire ex-offenders depends on the maturity of the organisation. Prof Koh was of the view that many organisations have not reached the level of maturity required to accept ex-offenders and that time should be given to allow organisations to grow with the individual ex-offenders and for the individual to come out of his shell, in his own time.
