Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said he has received the completed report from the Attorney-General Chambers (AGC) on the proposal to decriminalise suicide attempts and will be bringing the matter to the cabinet soon.
He will also discuss the report findings with the other stakeholders, which are the Home Ministry and police.
“I brought a cabinet memorandum for us to have a moratorium on criminalising suicide first, but at the time, the cabinet said it would be better to have a report from the AGC first before making any decision on a moratorium or directly amending the Penal Code.
“In this session, we will discuss the findings by the AGC and will review the cabinet memorandum which has already been prepared and bring it to the cabinet meeting,” Khairy (above) told reporters after attending an event to handover allocation to mental health NGOs at the Health Ministry in Putrajaya today.
