Campaign to promote mental health discussions

AIR Selangor has launched #SembangKalauBimbang (loosely translated as chat about your worries), a campaign to promote mental well-being nationwide.

The National Health and Morbidity Survey reported that one in three Malaysians admitted having mental issues, yet 80% of those surveyed did not reach out to seek help because of deep-rooted beliefs and fear of backlash from the community.
