I'm digressing a bit today, out of my normal territory to comment on an interesting story and a miracle or damn luck, as some might say, of a woman in Larkin, Johor who had second thoughts about committing suicide, slipped and fell from a top floor of a three-storeyed shop.
The drama began at 8.30am, when the woman stood on the ledge of the building, intending to leap to her death.
It was learnt the firemen were preparing an air-bag to cushion her fall but the woman, prematurely slipped and fell on a fireman instead.
Had the 25-year-old woman missed falling on a fireman, she would have landed head-long onto the tarmac.
Earlier, the firemen and members of the public spent about 50 minutes, discouraging the depressed woman from ending her life.
Well such an act is not condoned and for those intending to commit suicide is committing an offence under Section 309 of the Penal Code which carries imprisonment up to a year or a fine, or both.
