Indians accounted for around 75% suicides in Dubai

[EndoClock]

Indians and other south Asians have the highest suicide rate in Dubai and men emerged as the main victims of self-killing, according to a police study.

The study by the Dubai police department showed 35 people killed themselves in the emirate in the first nine months of 2011 while 37 attempted suicide.

The study expected the total suicide cases through 2011 to be lower than in 2010 and 2009, when 83 and 89 people committed suicide respectively.

“The study shows that Asians are the main victims of suicide cases in the emirate as they accounted for nearly 90 per cent of the total suicide cases in the first nine months of this year,” said colonel Jamal Al Jallaf, deputy director of the Dubai department of detectives and criminal investigation.

“Indians top the list as they accounted for around 74 per cent, followed by Bangladeshis at 7.8 per cent and Pakistanis at 5.6 per cent.”

thats because asians account for 85% of dubai's population - so statistically speaking there is no problem.

If I were born Indian...

You're right buddy. They would be forced to look in the mirror every morning. They would also remember that their masters in the Gulf don't think much of them.

China's suicide rate 'among highest in world'
(AFP) – Sep 8, 2011
BEIJING — A person tries to kill themselves in China every two minutes, the government and state media said Thursday, giving the country one of the highest suicide rates in the world.
China's suicide rate is 22.23 people out of every 100,000, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said on its website.
"Our nation has one of the highest rates of suicide in the world," the Beijing Youth Daily quoted Beijing Health Bureau spokesman Mao Yu as saying.
About 287,000 people kill themselves in the country of 1.3 billion every year, while about two million try to commit suicide annually.
China marks World Suicide Prevention Day on Saturday, according to the Beijing Youth Daily.
The disease control centre said suicide is the biggest killer among Chinese aged 15 to 34.
Extreme pressure to perform well at school and to find employment were the main reasons behind the high rate of suicide among China's youths, media said.
The suicide rate in rural areas is three times higher than in urban centres and accounts for 75 percent of China's suicide total, it said.
According to the Guangzhou Daily, the number of suicides in China has risen sharply during the reform and open period, when the nation's economy has boomed.
A person attempts to commit suicide in China every two minutes, the paper said.
In 2009, the British medical journal The Lancet identified Lithuania, Finland, Latvia, Hungary, China, Japan and Kazakhstan as all having exceptionally high rates of suicide, 20 per 100,000 people or higher.

You don't want to be taller, stronger, faster, richer, smarter, and overall, better than you are now?

You don't want to live in a nation with 8x the internet connectivity, 5x GDP per capita, 2x electrification rate, better public transportation, less violence and less misery than the one you live in now?

China: Suicide Civil Servants in Depression or ‘Being Depressed'?
Posted By Oiwan Lam On 17 November 2011 @ 3:04 am In China,Chinese,East Asia,English,Governance,Law,Weblog | 2 Comments

It seems that more and more Chinese people are suffering from various kinds of psychological illnesses according to the Chinese authorities' investigations. It is well-known that ordinary people who petition against injustice and corruption in the country have been diagnosed as having mental illnesses [1] such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Recently, a similar diagnosis, this time depression, has been given to civil servants and government officials who have committed suicide.

In most of the suicide cases, the conclusion of depression is drawn quickly within a day or two without much explanation. Being skeptical of the police investigation, Chinese netizens use a passive voice, “being depressed”, to highlight the suspected covering up of corruption involved.

A recent “being depressed” case is the suicide of the deputy police officer of the criminal investigation team in Zhejiang on November 12, 2011. In less than three days, at 14:55 pm on November 15, the Chinese Police Web posted an excerpt [2] [zh] of an investigation report at its Weibo account:

中国警察网:【浙江一刑侦副大队长跳楼身亡 患抑郁症是工作狂】警方透露，11月12日上午11时30分许，浙江省嵊州市公安局指挥中心接到群众报警称，嵊州市万都豪庭小高楼有人跳楼。随后，跳楼者被送到医院，抢救无效死亡。这个跳楼者就是嵊州市公安局刑侦大队副大队长徐栋。中国警察网-浙江一刑侦副大队长跳楼身亡 患抑郁症是工作狂

Chinese Police Web: [Deputy police officer of the criminal unit in Zhejiang who committed suicide by throwing himself from a building was a workaholic and suffered from depression] The police department revealed that at 11:30 am on 12 November, 2011, Zhejiang Shengzhou city police received a report that someone has thrown himself out of a building in a housing campus. He was sent to the hospital and died. The identity of this person is deputy police officer of the criminal unit in Shengzhou city, Xu Dong. 中国警察网-浙江一刑侦副大队长跳楼身亡 患抑郁症是工作狂
Below is the discussion following the news thread:

唐僧包二奶00：良心没有泯灭的办案警察，难免有点抑郁症的。

唐僧包二奶00：Those police officers who still have some conscience would tend to suffer from depression.
王惜梧：在中国做警察真痛苦！！坏人不能尽抓，好人难免“抓错”，良心存久了不肯丢不小心就抑郁了！这位不知道是真抑郁还是假抑郁哦！

王惜梧：It is very painful to be a police officer in China!! It is inevitable that they will miss the bad guys and “mistakenly” catch the good guys. If you don't throw away your conscience, depression will become inevitable. Well you never know if this particular case is real or fake depression though.
飞天媚娘：跳楼的都是抑郁症，犯事的全为临时工。

飞天媚娘：All those who have thrown themselves from high rises are depressed, all those who made mistakes in their workplace are temporary workers.
Another case happened on November 10 at 7 pm; the Deputy Director of County Level Business Bureau under the Ministry of Agriculture Lu Yongjun threw himself out of the office window. At 10 am on the next morning, an internal meeting within the Ministry of Agriculture concluded that Lu suffered from depression and the Ministry's leaders demanded that there should be no further discussion about the case.

Lu's colleagues found the case suspicious as he was already 57 and about to retire soon. His body was cremated on November 14. Under the news headline in Sina Weibo [3] [zh], many netizens questioned the investigation:

好咪咪：好像所有死去的这类官员都得了抑郁症，都是自杀。怎么这么巧啊，象约好了似的。

好咪咪：How come officials with similar backgrounds were all suffering from depression and committed suicide. Such a coincidence, as if they had made an appointment [for committing suicide together].
MOMAX：牺牲他一个，保住一窝人！不死也要死，死了就能保护很多人，就能让家人日子好过，否则铁定弄死他！还要家破人亡

MOMAX：Sacrifice one and save a whole team. When one died, many would be saved and his family would be taken care of. Or else, someone would make sure he died and his family would suffer.
游虾甲V5：国家机密不方便透露。

游虾甲V5：Can't reveal national secret.
央企鞍钢总医院张国贤:天朝官员爱跳楼，爱抑郁，爱不舒服死。草民更爱自焚，上吊和躲猫猫！有能耐别急着抢尸火化！

央企鞍钢总医院张国贤: Officials of the heavenly kingdom like to throw themselves from buildings, enjoy depression and painful suicide. People from the grassroots enjoy self-immolation, hanging and running into walls. The authority is busy with robbing the corpses and cremating them.
饶春亮：完了，人一死，账都不好意思查了。。。

饶春亮：case closed with one's death. It is disrespectful for people to check a dead person's account…
People's skepticism towards the suicide investigations of government officials and civil servants has been mounting since the suspicious death of an anti-corruption officer Xie Yexin in Hebei province back in August 2011. According to the autopsy report, Xie was stabbed 11 times in the chest, neck, abdomen and both wrists, and died from the rupture of a major vein near the heart. The police concluded that the case was a suicide but Xie's family did not accept the investigation. More from WSJ [4].

Suicide is preventable and anyone experiencing suicidal feelings should seek help. Suicide.org [5] and Befrienders Worldwide [6] offer confidential support for the suicidal and those in emotional crisis.

Even Sub-Saharan Africans are less likely to have poverty/starvation than Indians.

Indians and Africans have 2 things in common: never take responsibility for their own actions, and love taking and paying bribes.

Remember, only the top elite 7% of India can post here, the rest are censored by their regime. Everyone that posts here is part of the bribe taking class in India.
