National Population and Family Development Board director-general Datuk Ahmad Shukor Abdullah presses the button to officiate the opening ceremony, as others look on. ― Borneo Post picMIRI, Oct 19 ― The federal government is taking steps to prevent the Western malaise of de-institutionalising marriage by strengthening mental health and family institution, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.
She said life patterns and daily routines were very predictable in the past but that has changed over the years, with marriage and family’s mental health coming under greater pressure now. Nancy stressed that for Malaysia to be developed and prosperous, the people must have optimal mental health, a healthy and quality family system, which still has strong relationships between its members and is able to be a protector and supporter for the needs of its members.
Malaysia needs more counsellors who are dedicated, empathetic, have a deep passion and interest in helping, trust and have deep knowledge in the humanities, basic and up-to-date approaches and theories in line with current conditions, she said.
