Today I am going to blog about the article: NTU’s final year engineering student stabs professor.

A Nanyang Technological University (NTU) spokesman had confirmed that a final year student from the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering stabbed a professor Monday morning.

The professor at the engineering faculty was in his office when the student stabbed him with a knife in the back.

Prof Chan Kap Luk, a Singaporean in his 40s, is said to be the supervisor of the fourth year student in a project.

After stabbing the professor, the male student — who was in his 20s — slit his wrists and jumped down a building at the engineering block.

His body was found at the bottom of the building, which was about five storeys high. He died from his injuries.

Prof Chan received medical treatment for cuts and is in stable condition.
NTU said both parties’ next—of—kin had been notified.

NTU’s president, Su Guaning, rallied the university community together and pledged to help the families of the professor and student.

He said the matter will be investigated thoroughly. The university has mobilised its counselling professionals to help.

Dr Su said: "The university is deeply shocked and saddened by what has happened... The university community will rally together at this difficult time and do our utmost to help the student’s family, the professor and his family, and those traumatised by the incident."

My view:
First of all I do not know why the student stabbed the professor. I think no ones knows at all. Most probably, the professor has done something that the student doesnt like and thinks the professor is unfair. Maybe. However there should not be any reason as to why he stabbed the professor. He should not stab the professor no matter how angry he is. Instead he should go for counselling. I think NTU would have a counsellor for students to talk to. The student have also caused a huge problem for his family and the professor's. I hope from this article, we will learn that we should never do any harm to our teachers or friends or family. Secondly, we should always bare in mind that our actions will lead to problems that cause much discomfort to people, especially those who care about you.
