A life saved, another dies

UPDATE (Aug 2, 11.25am): Suicide wannabe to get psychiatric help - again, as published in The Malay Mail today.

----

It was an evening I will never forget.


It was an evening (July 31) where I traded my journalistic skills to play negotiator as a man was about to jump off from the 15th floor of a condominium block in Petaling Jaya.

It was where I managed to calm the man and myself down and after an hour long conversation, I quickly pulled him off the ledge before he was arrested by cops.

Read about the drama in The Malay Mail today.

Several hours later, I received news about the tragic death national hockey player Chua Boon Huat (pic).

The man needs no introduction as he is a household name in the country.

Boon Huat died after his car crashed into a lorry along the LDP, as reported here.

This incident comes hardly four days after the nation lost another athlete, basketball star Jacky Ng who died on Sunday.

HD says: A day filled with mixed emotions. Rest in peace Boon Huat, for you will be missed.
