Question 1:
What were some indications which showed that the victim was facing problems before he committed the rash act?
he could have been very stress with his studies,as he is using his bursary award to come singapore for further studies,but he didn't manage to do well over here and they have to cancel his award,so he could had worried that his parents could not affort his school fees amd he his families are not in singapore so he could not find a close person to share his thoughts with , so he may thought that ending his lives was the best way to solve the problem .
Question 2:
(a) Is it very stressful being a student in Singapore? Explain.
Yes i agree, it is very stressful being a singapore student.Singaporean are very "kia su " everything have to the best and prefect that why there is alot of competing in students's studies ,some of the students may not reach up to parents expection will get repriminded by their parents.In Singapore without certificate no one will employ you or having good pay ,thats why parents wan to make sure their child study well in their studies so they won't suffer in future.My worst subject is english but in singapore without english i will not be able to get a better job so i have to put in more effort on english .
(b) What are some problems you face as a student which adds to your stress level?
From my parents and mine expectation is alaways increase in my stress level .if my result didn't come out well i would find out the reason and put in more extra effort than others.
