Man On Rampage At PM's Department May Have Had Mental Disorder

KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 - The man who was shot dead at the Complex B compound of the Prime Minister's Department in Putrajaya yesterday may have had 'oppositional conduct disorder', which is a tendency to protest and rebel in any given situation.

In other words, the person may have been suffering from a disturbed mind, said International Psychology Centre Sdn Bhd, principal consulting psychologist Dr Edward Chan.

"Based on my observations of this man's blog, I found that he had suspicious, cynical and irrational feelings on matters," he said when contacted by Bernama here Tuesday.

The man may have been mentally disturbed as a child or did not have balanced nutrition and may have also suffered from substance abuse, he added.

"Often an individual who has this disorder would be moody, easily annoyed and hot tempered, which can be dangerous to the public as their behaviour can be beyond control," he said.
