Four fingers were hacked off from Mr Ang Jun Heng's left hand during a vicious robbery when he was 19.
But Mr Ang lost more than his fingers, mobile phone and wallet in the 2010 attack. The straight-A student from Raffles Institution (RI) was also robbed of his dream of becoming a pilot. Despite that, he bears his attackers no grudges.
