KOTA BHARU, Aug 4 (Bernama) -- Malaysia is blessed with multi-ethnic groups with diverse religious beliefs. Although this country has faced many challenges related to this diversity since its establishment, Malaysia has managed to tackle every issue properly and has been able to survive.
However, the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic has triggered undesired and unimagined impacts, causing the closure of several sectors that had previously been known as lavish and contributing to the country’s GDP. On a micro level, people are struggling, with some of them experiencing a loss of income due to business closures and unemployment.
Many are struggling with daily routines, having to cope with work and house chores at the same time. Recent evidence shows that the number of mental illnesses has spiked since the MCO, while total cases of suicide have also increased. This is not something pleasant to hear, but it does show how terrible the situation has become.
