A 24-year-old law student is currently in the Segamat Hospital for treatment after he had attempted to burn himself alive at a petrol station there.

According to the Segamat District Police Chief, Superintendent Ahmad Zamry Bin Marinsah, his party received a report on April 17 (Monday), informing them that the man had doused himself in petrol and had lit himself on fire with a lighter.

Despite the petrol station owner putting the man out with a fire extinguisher, the man then ran out to the middle of the road and sat down in hopes that a car would hit him, in another attempt at suicide.

Vehicles had managed to stop before they hit him but this caused an collision between a car and a lorry.

“The victim, in a state of having burns almost all over his body, was sent to the Segamat Hospital using an ambulance to receive treatment,” he said.

 

It turns out that the man was desperate to commit suicide after failing his Bachelor of Laws exams for a third time, causing him to feel embarrassed among his family.

We genuinely hope that the man recovers from both his burns and his suicidal thoughts.
