   A 17-year-old student of SMK Seri Kota in Ayer Leleh jumped to her death from the third floor of the building at school in front of horrified teachers and schoolmates was a shock to many.

   Sally Lee Qian Chun, a Form five students, who was attending Chemistry at that time had rush out of class and went to the third floor of the building. Witnesses of the incident that happened around 9.15 am were shocked to find her sitting on the ledge facing the classroom and then falling backwards.

   She died from fatal head injuries.

   Earlier she had posted several comments in her profile page in the social networking website Facebook that she planned to take her own life and that this would be her last Chinese New Year. The posts which were made using her profile name “Sally Lee Chun” had resulted in taunts and dare from her friends telling her to go on with her plans.

  Teachers and friends paid their last respects to her on Wednesday, at the Melaka Memorial Park, Jelutong, before her remains were cremated. The scene where her sobbing parents were comforted by relatives and many of her friends crying was heart wrenching.

  Taking her own life just because of rejection? I get how she feels but taking her own life is just really stupid. She might be smart but she's not very bright.

   It is assumed that Murabak were to step down when the army met with the head of armed forced not present. For what it's worth, Egypt's information minister says it's all just a rumour and Mubarak will not step down.

   Having failed to meet the demand of the protesters to step down from his position immediately, Hosni Murabak, current president of Egypt have announced on Thursday that he will transfer his powers to his vice president, Omar Suleiman, a former intelligence chief trusted by Washington.

   Protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square were enraged by the fact that Murabak have not stepped down. They hurled shoes during the address while shouting “Down, Down, Hosni Murabak”.

   "My heart went out and I felt the pain as you did. I tell you, that my response to your voice and message and your demands is a commitment that cannot be waived," he said. Murabak had stated on his speech on Thursday that he will not step down until the September polls, saying this could lead to chaos in Egypt.

   I think he should just step down so that everyone else can have a peace of mind. The protest is already at this state and he is still so desperately trying to hold on to what he is bound to lose. If he really is "for the people" then do what that is right.
