: Malaysia’s 2023 Youth Mental Health Index score stands at a moderate level of 71.91, according to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
“We are deeply concerned about the stress and anxiety that can lead to suicide. These issues stem from various external factors, particularly cyberbullying, as well as challenges related to technology and lifestyle,” he told a press conference after chairing the committee meeting at the Parliament building, here today.
He said the meeting agreed that the Ministry of Youth and Sports collaborates with 12 other ministries as well as government agencies, non-governmental organisations and the private sector, to implement more effective mental health interventions, especially for the youth. “If we don’t deal with it and establish guidelines for follow-up, other cases may occur from the support system,“ she said.
