If all of us show some sympathy to everyone who jumped the tracks, you will be encouraging more people to do it, for the sake of profiting $500,000. That is why the papers seldom publish suicides, unless special case or story.
What we should do is to condemn such acts. Not only for jumping onto tracks, but also any other form of suicide. Tell them that the burden that they were carrying is only being passed onto someone else, i.e.: family.

thanks...this is e msg that im tryin to bring across and I believe if Jap really hav this system in place...they want to condemn such acts ...in fact I would say a very irresponsible act....
however....there's so many suicide news appearing on the newspaper almost everyday and after each news they will show wat numbers to call if they are in distress. Perhaps the helpline publicity is not wide enough to get e attentions of those in need....perhaps wat they can do now is to do big posters at every mrt to show the helplines...
and wat FrogLah said is also true....maybe our daily life is so busy that we didnt notice the ppl ard us....if we see some1 unhappy..we wont think much other than just thinking he/she juz got up from the wrong side of bed...perhaps it is time now for us to be more sensitive with the ppl ard us...esp colleagues, family members and relatives....assure them that we are there if they need help...nothing in this world cant be resolved.
