Trishaw rider's suicide attempt not due to Melaka's car-free weekends, say cops

MELAKA: A suicide attempt by a rider of one of the historic city's trishaws in Bandar Hilir here on Monday (Feb 19) is due to personal financial problems.

Melaka Tengah OCPD Asst Comm Christopher Patit refuted speculations that the suicide attempt by the 59-year-old rider was a result of his dwindled revenues that stemmed from the weekend car-free zone initiative debuted by the state government in August last year.
