Netizens in Malaysia were hard on PAS Senator Mohd Apandi Mohamad for saying K-dramas leads to a high suicide rate among teens in Malaysia.
They poked him for diverting attention from the real issues that drive Malaysian teens to suicide. The senator says, “Every story has a plot about suicide. […] Agree or not, when there’s a failure, there’s suicide. Failure, then suicide.”
“Do you agree that teens who died by suicide were influenced by movies and dramas made in Korea?” he asked Senator Fadhlina Sidek of Keadilan who was sharing the statistics of teens who died by suicide.
“Is it because they are influenced by these Korean dramas?”
