KUALA LUMPUR: Women who are experiencing emotional distress or facing marital problems are advised to seek help and support through proper channels.
Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the ministry offered various platforms for assistance which serve as a space for individuals to express their feelings and be directed to appropriate support and intervention.
She added that this includes the Talian Kasih 15999 helpline.
"We want them to reach out so they can receive advice and guidance on where to go for help. Sometimes they don’t know the right channels and end up in the wrong places.
"If they are facing depression or other issues, they can call 15999 to pour their feelings, and from there, they will be guided. This is the correct step and platform,” she told reporters after launching the Kasih Ibu Tunggal (KasihnITa) 2025 programme on Tuesday (July 15).
She also encouraged women facing issues such as domestic violence to seek help through the One-Stop Social Support Centre (PSSS) under her ministry, which provided counselling and guidance from professionals.
PSSS is an initiative by the ministry through the National Welfare Foundation (YKN) that aims to provide immediate assistance to those in need, particularly in addressing psychosocial issues within the community. - Bernama
