PETALING JAYA: The tragic story of a teenager, who killed herself after respondents to an online poll encouraged her to do so, has shattered Malaysians.

The case reflected the low awareness of mental health issues in the country, said Malaysian Psychiatric Association patron Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

“The government must train more counsellors and psychologists to help those suffering from depression and other mental problems.” In the case of the teenager, Lee said there was a gap of about five hours from the time of her posting until her suicidal act, and that there was no alert system in place for intervention.

Ramkarpal, who is a lawyer, asked if the encouragement of those netizens had actually influenced her decision to take her own life.
