KUALA LUMPUR: The latest murder-suicide tragedy in Ledang, Johor, where a mentally-disturbed policeman shot dead his wife and father-in-law using his service revolver, before turning the gun on himself is an indication that mental stress of our security personnel is not one to be taken lightly.

The mental stress they undergo, be it due to personal or professional reasons, must be given attention to and addressed before they spiral out of control and lead to irrational actions.
