News & Reviews:   Instagram poll suicide

In the wake of the recent suicide by a 16 year old teenager from Sarawak triggered by an Instagram poll, MCMC recently sent out a statement reminding everyone that it is in fact illegal to spur a suicidal minor on or encourage those looking to suicide (up to 20 years jail time and fines). The teen had apparently asked followers of her Instagram “Really Important, Help Me to Choose D/L” in which 69% of the respondents chose D (which stood for death). She was then found dead, believed to have fallen from the 3rd floor of a shop lot in Kuching.
