Malaysia recorded 638 suicide cases from January to July this year and the home minister and the attorney-general have agreed to end Section 309 of the Penal Code, Malay Mail reported.
The number of suicide cases for that period represents a 143 per cent increase as compared to last year when there were only 262 cases.
The government will be introducing the “national strategic action on mental health 2020-2025” on Oct. 10, in conjunction with World Mental Health Day
