LETTER | We must have an open mind to study how to decriminalise suicide in a holistic manner.

| Malaysia should emulate Singapore in the decriminalising of suicide. Pushing it one step further, a citizen should also have the right to die via medically-assisted suicide under certain circumstances.

Instead, the family prolongs his deteriorating quality of life whenever critical medical situations arise. Things get worse day-by-day, being bedridden in agony for many months before passing away. It is certainly unfair for anyone who wants to die to continue to live in pain and agony until the last breath. There is no reason to want a long life of suffering. In certain developed countries, medically-assisted suicide is legal under certain strict criteria.
