A friend of mine, a girl, was so stressful about the current issue in Malaysia, which is the suicide of Vasantha Priya, a 14 year old girl who hanged herself after a "dispute" over allegation from her teacher that she stole the teacher's Iphone.
Ok, the case is now under Police investigation. The teacher involved is now under Education Ministry supervision, and her fate will be decided after the investigation.
In summary, the issue is undergoing a process.
My question to that female friend, why you get so stress over this?
It's just like the case of that tahfiz fire who killed 23 students last year.

When it happened, most noises in the social media suddenly get emotionally heightened, blame "penunggang agama" / those who abuse religion for profit, blame tahfiz schools and imply that those tahfiz schools doesn't give much damn to the safety of students, only using religion to cash in as much as possible.
History of previous burning involving tahfiz schools, implying that the schools aren't safe.
In the end, the investigation proved it was an arson case.
And suddenly those who were emotionally heightened, became quiet. No more blaming.
I myself was also one of those social media bloody noises.
A fortnight ago, I was hell on Facebook making noises supporting #undirosak movement. Comments and noises.
Then the KLSCAH forum happened. And suddenly it made me to question things.
I asked the #undirosak fellas, why are you guys harping so much about Maryam Lee, and not Fahmi Reza?
I felt Fahmi Reza's case was more "oppressive" compared to verbal abuse to Maryam Lee.
The answer to my question, "why? Do you want to start donation for Fahmi Reza, is it?"
I kept quiet.
Then I was told "Relax mate, the case is still under undecided in Court. We see how to progress after the case is decided".
Look at the current news happening in Malaysia.

Ok. The world is shit. We all take note of the news above.
But must you spoil your mood and stress yourself over those news?
Do all those news, demands your explaination and review in Facebook, and you feel like a Social Justice Warrior over an injustice world, and made you stressful after that?
Then, comments and reviews in your FB comment section, replying each other, sometimes shooting each other back, heightened emotions, and made you more stressful.
In the end, like the Fahmi Reza case, or the Tahfiz case, we still rely on the mechanism in our society, ie. police, Courts, even though most of us in Malaysia, mistrust the Government, or what you might term as the System.
It's ok and your democratic right to make noise, but I'm just concerned over your stress.

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired and unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
No alarms and no surprises, please
Silent, silent
This is my final fit,
my final bellyache with
No alarms and no surprises please
Such a pretty house,
such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises please
