: In what is understood to be a first in Malaysia, a teenager is believed to have killed herself today after receiving the “nod” from people on social media.
Padawan police chief Supt Aidil Bolhassan said a check on the teenager’s Instagram account showed she started the poll at 3pm on Monday under the heading “REALLY IMPORTANT. Help Me Choose D/L”. In an immediate reaction, Malaysian Mental Health Association deputy president Prof Dr Ng Chong Guan said parents and caregivers of teenagers need to start taking children with mental health issues seriously.
Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Hannah Yeoh said the ministry has come out with tips for internet safety, anti-bullying and kindness campaigns to help youngsters deal with mental health issues.
