A 10-YEAR-OLD clad in his pyjamas was found dead at the foot of his block of flats in Bukit Panjang early one morning in August, a coroner's court heard on Wednesday.
A bolster was found next to Boon Yong Quan, a Primary 5 student, and the left side of his blue rubber slipper was found about 2m away at about 4am on Aug 4. The right side of the slipper was found at the staircase landing between the eighth and ninth floor of the block.
After a house-to-house check, police managed to trace the boy's family on the ninth floor. At a coroner's inquiry into the boy's death, Staff Sergeant Low Kay Wee from Jurong police division said police found the main gate of the unit padlocked but the wooden door was not secured.
Earlier on Aug 3, the boy, the younger child, was watching television when he told his father that he was tired and went to sleep. The rest of the family stayed up to watch television until 11pm.
The boy's father told police that Yong Quan, who was good in math and science, did not pose any major disciplinary problems at school or at home. Neither did he have any health problem such as sleep-walk.
He was a helpful, well-behaved, responsible and a good-natured student who did well in his studies, the court was told.
In returning an open verdict, State Coroner Victor Yeo said it was unclear why the boy had left the flat early that morning at about 3.20am. 'As such, I am not able to come to any firm conclusions as to the circumstances surrounding his fall,' he said. None of his family members was in court.

Judge Victor Yeo could not find out the real cause of his death but you decided it was suicide. There was no indication that the boy was going to take his own life.

There are such known cases of people who walk in their sleep, some of whom got themselves into trouble or hurt themselves unknowingly.

Are you a better judge? You are so highly insensitive to the feelings of the family. What's your agenda?

The case of the deceased's case is still unknown and probably will be an unsolved mystery so it's not right to jump to conclusion stated this is a suicide case unless proven otherwise. May he rest in peace.

Erm, but where are the words "jovial", "friendly" and "easy-going"?

80s and 90s bullshit from the relatives, teachers, family members and friends of such deceased running out of flavor in the 21st Century?

It's always like this. This is because family and society are critical of others and have now greatly succeeded in forcing people of all ages to keep their problems and miseries to themselves and show people on the outside what they like to see instead - their jovial, happy, funny, easygoing, helpful, courteous and quiet exteriors.

Instead of encouraging them to voice their pains and genuinely take joint, concerted steps to help them back and always encourage them to push forth with their potentials to achieve their best with their lives.

All these that should be done, are at best ideals and at worst, storybook fantasies.

Dale Carnegie, this world is not really for us different, special and refined species. We who are not as others, are strangers in this world, aside from all those rodents, journeymen and dungs that are in league with each other.
