Should law question suicide matter?

Despite the topic of my moral presentation, I come across some article pertaining the law on suicide in Malaysia. Section 309 of the Penal Code stated that anyone guilty of attempted suicide could face imprisonment of up to a year or fined or both. So the 1st question that bump into me is that, a Malaysian which seek to execute his/her own life now have to be detained just after they had felt so miserably torn apart or impetuously made a mistake of his life? They could have blame themselve for failed to undertake to end his/her own life. The conviction would just bring upon more embarrassment and added more unbearable mental distress. Well lets be logical, is the law able to discourage people from contemplating suicide? Is it reasonable and justifiable to impose such a legislation? I do not think any of this could be practicable to act as a solution towards the issues. Its odd and peculiar to see that why Malaysia is so different compare other country like UK which consider as local law counterpart. Suicide itself is legal in their community. Well malaysia is known to have passed silly and some ludicrous law anyway. A famous incident of the 16 years old teenage girl who was alleged to committed the offenses of trying to jump off from a 10 storey building after a disputation with her boyfriend. But since she was below eighteen so accordingly she was dealt under the Child Act 2001. Most of people attempted suicide because they was not diagnosed earlier of having depression or the people beside them does not giving enough attention to what was facing by them. Research had testify that one of the major fact of such "crime" as labeled by Malaysian law is that, the victim having history of mental illness or life event prior to this unwise act. So IMHO I don't think that law can be the detterrent in handling this psychological complex matter. A person who was going to end his/life the next few second is not seeking for attention but rather than an assist or alternative remedy to bring to an end of the unbearable pain. What they really need is a mental aid to bail them out of the misserable pain they suffered. I personally think that psychological approach would be a much better solution by rehabilitate and guide the poor victim under a more relevant profession department. Any feedback is welcome =)
