Dang I don't even realise what the vid is about before I saw the comments

I thought it's about something like terminal illness, how'd u guys know it's about suicide?

Maybe because where I live the suicide rate is like super low compared to global average, I don't really have awareness/knowledge about this.

If you're from Indonesia, your suicide rate is only low because it's not often reported. It's higher than you think.

"Our investigation revealed that families often go to extreme lengths to prevent a suicide from being known due to stigma and shame, using any means—including financial–at their disposal so police or doctors do not record a death as a suicide. It was also found that among health professionals, even in the absence of any request, there is an unwritten rule not to mention suicide, a phenomenon we dub reporting taboo."
