It is proper to arrest them first so they cannot make an escape. Counselling can come after that. But counselling does not guarantee change in that person.

People shouldn't be arrested for attempted suicide. They should be helped with counselling and treatment. If people are already depressed, arresting them is only going to make them feel worse and that would likely lead to another attempt at suicide. Another example of how unnecessarily draconian Singapore laws are.
