Suicide attempt!

I reached home, and was eating dinner when i heard some madman shouting. Assuming it was a beng, i decided to ignore it. It happened a few more times, and then stopped...

Later, as i cleared up my dishes, my mom told me its actually a distraught man who wanted to seek his own death.. she told me the police were still there.

True enough, when i looked out the window, i saw 1 police car, 3 SCDF vehicles including one fire engine, and 1 ambulance. Later on, as they left, 2 more police cars took their place... i guess some arrests are in order, since a suicide attempt as defined in s309 of the Penal Code (Cap 224) states that..

Attempt to commit suicide.
309. Whoever attempts to commit suicide, and does any act towards the commission of such offence, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine, or with both.

Uh-huh. And i saw a few other people looking at my block too.. that's how i knew that something was up i guess...

It wasn't really exciting. I didn't hear any sirens... i didn't well.. Feel anything. Hmmph! I guess suicides are becoming really common... or maybe not..?
