KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia, has expressed concern over the worsening mental health issues among children and adolescents, which have led to loss of life.
The Queen’s concern for young people’s mental and emotional well-being has prompted Istana Negara to take proactive measures, including discussions on initiatives to develop and enhance complaint and counselling systems, according to a post on Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar’s official Facebook page today.
This effort is specifically aimed at helping teens facing emotional distress, mental health problems and various life challenges.
Istana Negara Grand Chamberlain Datuk Azuan Effendy Zairakithnaini led the discussion, which brought together several government agencies, including the Education Ministry, the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, the Communications Ministry, the Royal Malaysia Police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission.
