Fahmi urges Malaysians to prioritise mental health in World Mental Health Day post

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 — The public should prioritise their mental wellbeing and not be afraid to seek assistance when experiencing stress or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil stated. In a Facebook post marking World Mental Health Day, Fahmi emphasized that mental health should be given the same importance as physical health, especially in the context of managing work, family responsibilities, and everyday life challenges.

He advised those who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unable to cope on their own to confide in someone they trust and seek professional help if necessary. Fahmi reminded the public that taking a break and allowing oneself time to rest was not a sign of weakness. Observed annually on October 10, World Mental Health Day aims to raise global awareness about the significance of mental health.
