The kleptomaniac

Goh lee yin was cinvicted of shoplifting again last week. She did it while under probation.psychatrists have said that kleptomania is a condition that is very hard to cure and often triggered by depression. Mrs foo-lim jim jim said in her report:" the weak link is lee yin herself". she ws referring to a timetable done by lee yin's relatives to control her kleptomania. Goh lee yin is not totally to be blamed and i disagree with mrs foo assessment of her as bieng too weak to resist the temptation of stealing. According to doctor chue tin, the doctor for lee yin,, she had not stole for an entire year while under probation. she was also a diligent worker who socialised with other staff at mr tan clinic where she worked. she was allowed to handle cash and she did not steal anything at all.
All this proves that Goh lee yin can control her impulses. The reason she suffered a relapse was probably because of the negative comments directed at her which caused her to become depressd thereby triggering the relapse. While she eventually did succumbed to the thrill of staeling again, it should be noted that it was not entirely her fault. she should not be discriminated against by others just because of her criminal record, if others were to shun her because of her criminal record, it will just make her condition worse.
Goh lee yin boyfriend should also bear some responsibility over how she turn out this way as well. Back in 2004, he already knew of hewr condition and her uncontrollable urge to steal things yet he stood by and did nothing. he should have brpught her to a psychatrist or try to stop her but he did nothing except to keep her family in the dark.
