1.
Thong Wei Yuan, who decided to end her life ;a 22-year-old ACCA student who leapt from the twelfth floor. Some time between 6 to 7 a.m, Nov 12 2015.
A witness shared, "she was prepared, having put on black clothing and footwear, she never uttered a sound when she was falling,so you can imagine the dreadful state of mind she was in, being overwhelmed with unbearable inner pain. It was chilling to see her fall without moving at all, motionless., "

Another story about postgraduate student Law Jia Yi,  who was said by her friends and the press to have committed suicide in Taiwan, be­­lieves everything would have been different if she had not gone there.
Reeling in shock from the news, the friend, who only wanted to be known as Keith, said he believed that she might have been suffering from depression.

The 24-year-old, a first-year postgraduate student at the National Taiwan Normal University, was found dead near some burnt charcoal in her room by a housemate on Wednesday evening, according to Taiwan newspapers.

Taiwan newspapers, quoting friends of Law, said she had been working part time at a cafe while studying to be a teacher there and that she claimed to be “under pressure”.
“She was a very cheerful, happy person. A very nice girl, she liked to bring happiness to people around her.
“But she liked to hide her own personal things to herself.
“To be honest, I really don’t know what happened in her last few days,” said Keith.


3.A piece of news dated Mar 06, 2009, A 27-YEAR-OLD Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) doctor, absent without official leave since last October, has been found dead in Melbourne.
The body of Captain (Dr) Allan Ooi was found under the Westgate Bridge in the south Australian city.

The 2,600m long bridge across the Yarra River is a vital link between the city centre and Melbourne's western suburbs.
A police spokesman there said the young man was seen getting out of his car on the bridge before 4am that day, and that the police did not believe anyone else was involved in the incident.
Capt (Dr) Ooi was believed to have been in Melbourne all this while, though it is not known where in the city he was, nor with whom he was staying.

He studied in Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and Anglo-Chinese Junior College before reading medicine at the National University of Singapore.
He came from a family of doctors: His father Alex Ooi is an obstetrician and gynaecologist, his mother Lucy Ooi is a cosmetic surgeon and his brother Adrian, 28, is also a doctor.
His sister Lynette, 24, is the exception. She is a lawyer in Hong Kong.


Chiang Ti Ming (Born in Seremban - 1976) : Malaysian Chinese boy genius.  IQ exceeded 180.
-  13 years old; youngest student to be ever admitted to California Institute of Technology (CALTECH) to study physics.  His father accompanied him to California and live there to look after him.-  Well respected by his fellow classmates and lots of achievements, awards, results were in the top 5%.-   Graduated with a Doctorate in Particle Physics from Cornell University in New York.

Started working in US, and then suddenly in 2002 when he was 26 years old, local newspapers reported that he was admitted to hospital here for depression and withdrawal symptoms.  The whole nation was so awed by him when he first came into the limelight at 12 years old.  It seems that he does not talk and  just sleeps in his bed all day.

On January 6, 2007 (31 years old)  he passed away.  So sad and the family is too distraught  to say anything.  Their 4-year old daughter who was also said to be a genius had drowned in a swimming pool at the Seremban International Golf club in 1993. (Ti Ming was about 17 years old then.)  Double tragedy.
