Unlike South Korea, Malaysia punishes those who have attempted to make extreme choices and who have failed to attempt.

According to a news agency on the 6th, a Malaysian court sentenced a man named Shapirul Hakim (28), who was caught by rescuers to jump out of an apartment to end his life, and sentenced him to a fine of 3,000 ringgits (850,000 won) for suicide.

The court stipulated that if Shafiruul does not pay a fine, he will be sentenced to three months in prison.

Shapiruul went to the balcony on the day of 4:45 in the apartment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital city, to make extreme choices in a home affair.

As Shapiruul locked the door, the police asked the firemen to help, and the rescuers came down the roof and caught him.

Shapiruul appealed in court, saying, "I was stressed out of my unemployment because of my family problems."

The prosecutor asked for a proper sentence, saying, "You must teach Shapiruul a suicide attempt."

Malaysia's Criminal Code stipulates a maximum sentence of one year in prison or fines for not committing suicide.

A Malaysian court sentenced a 42-year-old man to jail for two months before attempting an extreme choice with broken glass pieces.

The Korean Criminal Code does not convict suicide, but only punishes suicide teachers and abusive crimes.

The Indian Criminal Code also punishes suicide attempts for up to one year in prison or fines, and Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Singapore has eliminated suicide attempts since January.

The Malaysian Mental Health Association also urged that "more than 90% of extreme attempts suffer from on-time illnesses, such as depression," and that the provisions of suicide attempts should be abolished or revised.
