The Malay Version of the Revised-Suicide Ideation (R-SIS): An Examination of its Psychometric Properties

The surge prevalence of suicidal behavior among Malaysian attracts attention for prevention and intervention. More recent plates measure suicide behavior per se and predict the tendency of future suicide behavior. However, in Malaysia, such scales were understudied and cause a massive lack of scales...
