His Final Decision

The most watched video on CNA today had to be the one on "NTU student stabbing prof...". A final year Indo-Chinese Engineering student leaped off one of NTU's buildings to his death after stabbing a Prof. and slitting his wrists.

It sent shockwaves throughout the campus and many were saddened by this tragic incident. News spreaded like fire. Minutes after the incident, people in the LT were already talking about it - the true power of technology.

He is just 5-6 weeks away from graduation. Everyone yearn for that moment to come after surviving hell for 3.5 years in NTU. For many Year 1s, do you know how much we envy the seniors who are so close to obtaining their degrees? So why in the world did he take the jump?

No one knew his motive behind the stabbing and suicide. But many speculated that he was over pressurized. His ability to endure the past 7 sems should have been able to see him through his final sem. But no, that wasn't the case. He chose to end it even before he graduated. So near yet so far...

Personally, i believed it was planned beforehand and he harboured this thought for a pretty long time. And today was that fateful day. It takes a lot of courage to slit one's wrists, much more so in leaping off a building. I believe the desire to end his life has well surpassed his fear of death. Death was the best alternative in avoiding all problems, in escaping from everything he disliked and hated...

This incident has definitely tarnished NTU's reputation to a certain extent. If the speculations were right, perhaps his jump was a signal to all NTU faculties - stress kills.
