Lesson learnt, now early counseling for NTU students:
After the death of David Hartanto Widjaja, an Indonesian student, the campus in Singapore is trying to respond to students with problems earlier. In order to prevent more violence and suicide cases like David’s, the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, where David used to study, began to reactivate its counseling services for students with mental or emotional problems. The counseling center will work together with the students’ health center and international student center. Professionals will be consigned at the counseling center.

Ya… Seharusnya masalah ini sudah diperhatikan sejak dulu.
Setelah ada kejadian yang begitu mengejutkan seperti yang tempo hari santer diberitakan dan mengundang banyak kontroversi, Baru layanan konseling untuk mahasiswa ini di berlakukan kembali.
Saya rasa hal ini menjadi pelajaran berharga buat kita semua, khususnya penyedia layanan pendidikan.

I think it’s the best way to prevent another action of a kind. In Indonesia, I think it has done as known as BP, Bimbingan dan Penyuluhan, but it’s need to run more effectively according to decrease the engage in a gang fight among student, especially women student, who glow lately.

NTU’s response starts with the assumption that David’s psychological state was indeed the root of this very sad incident.
Nevertheless, we all know that the reason of his death is still unclear — did David really commit suicide or is there any better explanation to this event?
While NTU’s move is commendable, it has yet address the main issue. NTU and the Singapore government are responsible for performing thorough investigation and communicating the results openly to public, not only to serve the right of David and his family but to restore NTU’s reputation as a highly principled institution.
Blocking open communication is not to the best interest of NTU and Singapore. It will only intensify more negative and even wilder speculations to the detriment of what the school wants to achieve…
