* Malaysian police are investigating the case of a teenager believed to have jumped to her death after asking her social media followers to vote on whether she should kill herself. The 16-year-old girl, who was not named, had run a poll on photo-sharing app Instagram with the question ‘Really Important, Help Me Choose D/L’, hours before jumping off the roof of a building in Sarawak on Monday. District police chief Aidil Bolhassan said the 'D/L' meant 'Death/Life', and the poll had showed 69% of the girl's followers chose 'D', he said.
