PAS Senator Mohd Apandi Mohamad has been at the receiving end of brickbats after he suggested that South Korean dramas may contribute to teenage suicides in Malaysia.

He said that this was because many of these shows tend to depict suicide as an option for individuals who have failed in life.

He said this during a Dewan Negara sitting yesterday after PKR Senator Fadhlina Sidek had requested an immediate intervention on the current mental health crisis faced by the nation.
