One step closer to decriminalising suicide


PETALING JAYA: The country will take a historic step towards decriminalising suicide bids when the government tables several amendments to the relevant laws during the Dewan Rakyat’s second meeting of the second session of the 15th Parliament beginning tomorrow.

This comes as the amendments to three legislation – namely the Penal Code (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2023, Criminal Procedure Code (Amendment) (No. 2) 2023 and Mental Health Act 2001 (Act 615) – are set to be passed by the Lower House.
