THE Dewan Rakyat today passed the mental health bill 2023, which among others allows crisis intervention officers to arrest any person attempting to commit suicide.
“Currently crisis intervention officers only involve police officers, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency officers, fire and auxiliary fire officers, members of the Malaysian Civil Defence Force and community welfare officers because the process of rescuing victims requires specific training and sufficient expertise.
The bill, which was tabled on April 4 for the first reading, was passed with more votes in favour after the third reading by Ramkarpal.
