Salah satu artikel yang menarik perhatian saya ialah mengenai kes bunuh diri yang berlaku di Singapura tahun lepas, melibatkan 2 orang budak sekolah yang masih muda belia. Saya mencari lagi artikel dan berita yang berkaitan dengan kes tersebut dan terjumpa di asiaone.com. Dikatakan pelajar-pelajar ini melibatkan diri dengan amalan kebatinan agama Tao, iaitu mampu memanggil dewa untuk merasuki badan mereka dan merawat serta menunaikan hajat orang. Modus operandi bunuh diri ialah ingin menjadi dewa, demikian yang saya dapati dari artikel tersebut.
Ku Witaya, 16 tahun dan rakannya Sia Chan Hong mati setelah terjun dari bangunan flat tempat kediaman mereka di Bedok Reservoir kerana percaya mereka akan dilahirkan semula sebagai Demon Slayer @ Dewa Pembunuh Syaitan jika mereka mengambil nyawa mereka sendiri terlebih dahulu. Ku Witaya mengatakan bahawa dia menerima mesej dari dewa agar mengambil tindakan membunuh diri agar dapat diangkat menjadi dewa apabila dia mati kelak. Ku juga cuba untuk meyakinkan 8 rakannya yang lain untuk mengikuti jejak langkahnya untuk menjadi dewa namun pada saat-saat akhir mereka semua menarik diri kecuali Sia Chan Hong yang masih ragu-ragu pada peringkat permulaannya. Namun setelah dipujuk dan diyakin kan oleh Ku, Sia akhirnya setuju untuk terjun dari bangunan flat tersebut.
Saya berpendapat, tidaklah mustahil perkara yang sama ada berlaku dalam masyarakat kita. Contohnya kes bunuh di Gemencheh, dikatakan sang pembunuh menerima perintah dari Allah untuk membunuh ahli keluarganya kerana mereka adalah jelmaan dajal dan syaitan. Biasanya mereka yang mengalami perkara ini akan mendengar bisikan-bisikan aneh di telinga mereka agar melakukan perbuatan tersebut.
Melalui artikel tersebut, saya mendapati Ku Witaya mendapat bisikan daripada dewanya (yang pada hakikatnya ialah jin) kerana dia juga mempunyai saka, kalau boleh saya katakan begitu. Ku mendalami dan diperkenalkan dengan ajaran Tao mistik oleh neneknya yang juga merupakan seorang bomoh Tao.
Kesimpulannya, bagi yang masih muda, JANGAN BERMAIN DENGAN ALAM GHAIB! Kalau ilmu tauhid belum settle, jangan nak memandai-mandai nak belajar ilmu kebatinan, waima ada unsur-unsur Islamik pada ilmu tersebut. Dalami dan fahami betul-betul ajaran Islam, jangan libatkan diri dengan ajaran ilmu batin yang akhirnya bukan setakat menyusahkan diri, tetapi kepada keluarga dan juga masyarakat.
Berikut merupakan artikel penuh mengenai kes bunuh diri remaja tersebut.

A 16-YEAR-OLD self-professed Taoist medium, Thai-Chinese Ku Witaya, convinced his friends as well as his younger brother to enter into a suicide pact, based on his theory that the world was ending.
Of all his six friends whom Witaya had spoken to, only one - Sia Chan Hong - carried out the suicide act with him by jumping off the ninth floor of Block 667, Jalan Damai in the Bedok Reservoir area.
The other five friends backed out when they saw Chan Hong, 16, moaning at the foot of the block. He died three hours later in the hospital.
This incident occurred last year Aug 23 at around 5.20am in the morning.
In Lianhe Wanbao's report, it was revealed on Monday morning at a joint coroner's inquiry into the deaths of the two Tampines Secondary School students, that Witaya carried out Taoist rituals at home every Friday while his friends, including Chan Hong, would visit him at his house.
Witaya also believed that he could speak to deities.
One week before the joint suicide, Witaya spoke to his friends about a "Third World War" and preached about sacrificing themselves in order to "rid the world of demons".
According to the Chinese evening dailies report, the eight boys met at around 2am that fateful night and agreed on the suicide pact. One of them backed out.
After which, seven of them headed to Witaya's home and agreed to jump from the 13th floor but seeing that the entrance to the rooftop was locked, they decided to jump from his bedroom window.
The Straits Times reported that Chan Hong was "a little afraid" and Witaya had to calm him down before the two went back to the ledge. Moments later, they jumped from the window holding hands.
State Counsel Ang Feng Qian asked what the group thought of the joint suicide idea. A witness, aged 16, testified that they were "passionate" about it. He also revealed that Chang Hong had been the most passionate and Witaya was unwavering.
The witness mentioned that they had diaries belonging to the teens hidden in a riser outside Witaya's flat and that another witness, a 17-year-old boy, and Witaya's brother had penned farewell letters, wrote The Straits Times.
Shin Min Daily reported that Witaya was introduced to Taoism by his grandmother, Madam Goh Lim Choo, 62, who was formerly a medium.
He had wanted to quit school but was advised by his father to complete his O levels first.
A representative from the Taoist Federation told the media that Taoism valued life and that Taoists would not engage in such activities that would harm themselves or others.
The spokesperson also revealed that Witaya nor his "group" was registered with the federation and that they did not know about his activities.
