KUALA LUMPUR: Women, Family and Community Development deputy minister Hannah Yeoh used to be teased in school because of her weight, an experience that left her with body image issues for years.

That’s why in conjunction with the #StandTogether National Kindness Week (April 1-5), she is calling on all Malaysians to practice more kindness in their speech ? both online and in person.
