The Raja Permaisuri Agong, Raja Zarith Sofiah, recently expressed deep concern regarding the worsening mental health issues among children and adolescents in Malaysia. Her Majesty emphasized that this problem is no longer a minor matter, as it has even led to heartbreaking losses of life.
According to reports, life pressures and environmental challenges are among the main factors contributing to the decline in the mental health of the younger generation. Her Majesty described this situation as a serious reminder for the entire community to be more sensitive to the emotional and behavioral changes of the children around us.
In the meantime, the government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are urged to work more closely together to provide appropriate support. These efforts include increasing access to counseling services in schools and expanding awareness campaigns regarding the importance of maintaining mental well-being from a young age.
In conclusion, Her Majesty's decree serves as an important call for parents, teachers, and the community to play a more active role. By providing sufficient attention and emotional support, it is hoped that we can build a safer and healthier environment for the nation's future generation.
