Factors as-sociated with DSP include economic and social factors, culture, religion, and health (4-6).

A study conducted in Penang General Hospital during the years 2000–2004, showed that the people who were hospitalized due to in-tentional suicide were approximately 652050 people (9). Among these, 46.5%, 42.5 % and 10.6 % were from China, Malay, and India respectively. DSP admission in hospitals was 8.1 cases per month that estimated 14.91 cases per 100,000 people. Totally 70.3 % of subjects were female (<45 years) (10).
