About two months ago, Bernard Tan, 55, woke up to the news that a guy had hung himself from a pedestrian bridge which was located slightly more than 1km from his house in Seri Kembangan, Selangor.

“That got me thinking about how times are so bad that this guy decided to hang himself. I know everyone is facing a tough time, I am too, but there has got to be a way out of this. So, I guess the least I could do was try to help,” said Tan.
