Is there a reason for Indian youths making up the majority of suicide cases when their population as a whole is not the majority race in Malaysia?

In addition, the Indian population also make up the largest percentage of Malaysians who attempt suicide, according to the article “Suicide Attempts in Malaysia from the Year 1969 to 2011” published in The Scientific World Journal in 2014.

The article which discusses research on suicide attempts in Malaysia from the year 1969 to 2011 revealed that Indians had the highest suicide attempt rates at 3.67per 100,000, followed by the Chinese at 2.44 per 100,000 and Malays had lower rates of 0.32 per 100,000.

The researchers highlighted some of their key findings as below.

“Some of the risk factors among Malaysian Indians which could explain the higher number of suicide attempts in this group including poverty (a majority of Indians are from the lower social class), alcoholism (this problem is the highest among the Indian ethnic group and it is well known as a contributory factor to the development of depression as well as ranking high as a risk factor for suicide), psychiatry morbidity, caste issues, other social distress, cultural and religious factors, and attitude to suicide.

“On the other hand, it is much more difficult for Muslims Malays to attempt suicide since it is against their religion. Education also contributed to some differences; 89% of the studies showed that suicide attempters had secondary level of education compared to primary and tertiary.”

Oh no, soon they will be extinct if we don't find a way to help them.

There's only another 1.2 billion of them running around after all.

I lived in Malaysia briefly and the Indian population really are marginalised. Most of them come from poor backgrounds and are treated poorly by Malays; the social and economic division between Malays, Chinese and Indians are very obvious. Interestingly Chinese-Malay (mixed race from the first wave of Chinese settlers) are usually the richest and most "well bred" (yes a friend I made over there actually used that term) they are also incredibly beautiful and usually marry well to other Malays or Chinese businessmen. Malaysian natives from Borneo are also marginalised a lot of the time, especially as many of them are Christian and not Muslim. On the whole I enjoyed my time there and 90% of everyone I met was lovely and very accepting of foreigners who look different and have different beliefs and views but every country has its gripes and yes you could tell there was a lot of corruption, propaganda and out-dated views based around religion and race... Then again where isn't that the case?!

Her life, her choice to check out when she wants, never too young.

Maybe she met her arranged marriage partner and felt death was a muc better choice than a life of servitude to someone she couldn't love.
