Are we doing enough to prevent suicides?


I REFER to The Star report dated Aug 11 under the headline “Suicides spike during MCO” (online at bit.ly/star_spike) and the need to keep an eye on our mental health problems.

Annually, suicide claims 800,000 people globally. Between March and July, the Fire and Rescue Department attended to 88 cases of attempted suicide in Malaysia.
