PETALING JAYA: Veteran composer and singer Datuk M. Nasir shed light on the severity of the mental health crisis in the entertainment industry by stating that only a small number of people are willing to discuss it.

“Mental health is real, especially in the entertainment industry, but there are still those who are afraid to open up about their conditions,” he said, adding that this silence was due to the stigma surrounding mental health issues.
