IT is distressing and heart-breaking to read the news of the teenage girl in Sarawak who leapt to her death after 69% of respondents in a poll she had conducted on her Instagram account recommended that she chose “D”, which was taken to mean die, instead of L (live).
How could and why did her online friends condone her suicidal tendency? If these “friends” had not been hiding behind their mobile screens, I am sure the same 69% of them would not have asked her to choose death.
