2. Almost one million people die from suicide annually, and the average annual suicide rate is 16 per 100,000 globally [1]. By the year 2020, the WHO estimates that approximately 1.53 million people or nearly 3% of all world deaths would be due to suicide, and 10–20 times more people would attempt suicide worldwide. This represents on average one death every 20 seconds and one attempt every 1-2 seconds

Nevertheless, it is an offense to attempt suicide in Malaysia (Penal Code ). With Islam’s strong condemnation of suicide (Kamal and Loewenthal 2002) and Muslims forming 60.4 % of the population in Malaysia (Malaysia Department of Statistics 2002), it is understandable why few Malaysian college students are willing to discuss their suicidal behaviors. As a result, suicide has yet to receive the deserved attention in Malaysia despite the severity of the issue (Chen et al ), which makes the inception of preventive measures particularly difficult.

3. On ethnicity, the highest numbers of suicide attempters were Indians, followed by the Chinese, Malays, and other ethnicities.
Maniam listed some of the risk factors among Malaysian Indians which could explain the higher number of suicide attempts in this group including poverty (a majority of Indians are from the lower social class).
Suicide methods used by the attempters include self-poisoning (89%) using weedkillers, pesticides, insecticides, household products, psychotropic drugs, and other chemicals. Suicide attempts using agricultural poisons were also high due to their easy availability, being often carelessly stored in high concentrations in farming communities with easy access to distressed people
Finally, reasons for attempting suicide were recorded in 11 studies and the most common reasons, 46%, were due to conflicts with spouse, lover, and family members and at work place.

4. Religious Commitment, Attitudes Toward Suicide, and Suicidal Behaviors Among College Students of Different Ethnic and Religious Groups in Malaysia
In the late nineties, Nadesan (1999) reported that Indians (48.8 %) have the highest suicide rates in comparison with the Chinese (38.1 %) and the Malays (3.6 %). On the contrary, recently NSRM (2008) revealed that Chinese comprised the largest group of suicide cases (53.5 %), followed by Indians (27.3 %) and Malays (13.9 %)
Their age ranged from 18 to % studied medical science, % law, and 18 % business majors. A total of 38 % of the participants were males. The distribution of ethnic groups indicated % Malays, % Chinese, and % Indians. The distribution of religious groups revealed % Muslims, % Buddhist, % Hindus, and % Christians.
Results of the logistic regression analysis showed that college students’ likelihood of future suicide attempt can be predicted by their ethnicity and religious affiliation. Chinese and Buddhist college students have 2.75 times more likelihood, of future suicide attempt as compared to their Malay counterparts
revealed that Chinese have higher acceptance of suicide as compared to Malay participants. Likewise, Buddhist participants ) have higher acceptance of suicide as compared to Muslim participants
Malay participants were more agreeable that relational issues were the major cause of suicide as compared to their Chinese
Besides that, college students’ suicide risk, lifetime suicide ideation, suicide ideation in the past 12 months, and likelihood of future suicide attempt were associated with their acceptance of suicide. Participants who had higher acceptance of suicide were 1.14 times more likely to have suicide risk times more likely to have lifetime suicide ideation times more likely to have suicide ideation in the past 12 months times more likely to be involved in future suicide

6. Prevalence and associated factors of emotional disorder among Malaysian university Students article
The majority of the participants were 20 years old and above; female, Malay, and from urban areas (74.6%, 72.8%, 93.5%, 87.3%; respectively). The prevalence of emotional disorders among university students in this study was 48.3%. Residency, gender, and smoking were significantly influenced the emotional disorder among university students
Conclusion: Emotional disorders are common among university students. Gender, residency and smoking showed a significant influence the emotional disorder among university students. Therefore, psychiatric units in all Malaysian university are an urgent need to counsel and detect the emotional disorder early among students.
