Book Review: A Way Of Dying - Suicide in Singapore
This is a real interesting book, however, it can do with a little updating for it was published in 1984.
This is one case study I find very interesting:
11. The deceased was a 19-year-old Chinese male bational serviceman. According to the Army docror, he had 'homosexual tendencies'. He was in love with a fellow serviceman who did not reciprocate his affection.
My friend Heng Weng,
How are you? This is the third occasion I'm writing this letter to you. But unlike the previous two letters, I am shedding tears while writing this letter to you. It can be take for granted that we do not have the affinity to be friends. Hope that we can be brought together in the next world. though I depart from thuis world which has made me grieve, yet my heart is still in love with you forever. Let me speak the truth to you. I am a 'sex man' (hermaphrodite); I realise that it is not possible for me to get married to you. So I have no alternative but to tread on this path. Finally, I hope that you will be able to find a pretty maiden.
Wishing you handsome forever and in good physial health forever.
In-ter-rest-ting... Like Stan...
