M’sian Mum Jumps To Her Death Off Banting Bridge After Arguing With Her Son

Never leave an argument unsettled.

A Malaysian mum who reportedly worked at a hypermarket in Selangor was immensely distressed after allegedly fighting with her son over a dispute yesterday before dawn.

According to China Press, the woman was overcome with emotion and climbed over the barrier beside the road of Banting Bridge in Selangor. She then stood dangerously close to the edge of the bridge which drew the attention of Malaysians who were driving along the road.

In a video taken by one of the onlookers, a man can visibly be seen trying to cox the woman out of this life-ending decision. He cautiously approaches her and stops at a safe distance as he tries to convince her to come down.

Unfortunately, nothing could change her mind. The woman couldn’t shake off her overwhelming sadness and proceeded to jump to her death in front of the spectating crowd.

The police were alerted of the situation and a rescue team was dispatched to the scene immediately but it was too late. They were only able to locate the body and retrieve it from the bottom of the bridge.

While we can’t imagine what this poor woman was feeling when she chose to make that decision, it doesn’t always have to end this way.
