KUALA LUMPUR: The government should mobilise professional counsellors nationwide to give much needed counselling to those suffering from poor mental health, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
The Alliance for Safe Community chairman said the number of suicide cases since last year is alarming, thus the government should make mental health a priority. I believe the government has not done enough on this matter. I suggest that all counsellors are deployed, so that they will be able to give counselling to those severely affected during these challenging times, resulting in poor mental health, he told The Star on Thursday (Jan 14).

PETALING JAYA: As Covid-19 cases continue to rise in the country, civil society groups and politicians say a snap election should be avoided.
Alliance for Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said calling a general election now was not the right thing to do with Covid-19 showing no signs of abating.
“The situation is very serious going by the daily figures, which hover at around 2,000 new cases. We should learn from the lessons of the Sabah election (in September).
