When tragedy strikes a residential community, be it a suicide or a violent crime, the impact goes far beyond the incident itself. How should property managers, joint management bodies, and residents respond with both sensitivity and transparency? Real estate practitioner Soma Sundram and MIASA Malaysia founder Anita Abu Bakar tackle this topic from different lenses.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you can reach out to Befrienders KL (03-76272929) or find help through Relate Malaysia and other mental health support services.
