A fine day going by, and a bad news comes along.
A friend has commited suicide, he was hiding himself, a funny fellow.
Someone , always there for the parties and sometimes even spoiling it.
But he was there, a nice chap, and we all have wonderful memories of David.

The last few days of David, must have been bad, I for once did not see him since 2002, the last in Batam, Indonesia.

We had a good time like so many other times.

Why did he have to do such a thing, someone who comes back to cook for his father.
A son who took real good care of his aging Dad, while the other sisters and brothers were so busy with their lifes.

Someone who managed to get his own roof, get a good job many people cannot do, he was an Air Traffic Controller.

Someone who did have his fair share of troubles with his own demon, the bottle.
He was drinking heavily, on his days but still being able to cope with whatever came by....Then why take his own life.

David, may God rest his soul....was in Depression....he was visiting a counsellor from IMH, Institude of Mental Health. He was given a 2 months leave an MC.

He gladly took it and was seen in church by friends, and even invited them to come the following week.

What followed after that was that, he realised that his company the Changi Airport would not pay his salary. They wanted to put him on a NO PAY LEAVE.

He went to the unions, the Singapore Unions are jack asses and they supported the employer, and poor Davis ended with NO PAY and still in Depression.

Why has Singapore become like this. They have literally pushed this friend of mine down. He jumped from a high rise apartment, next to his own.

He killed himself.
He was working for them for 15 years, he was single. An inrovert, yes, but a nice guy.

Now David is gone, a friend.
