The Education Ministry is stepping up efforts to strengthen psychosocial support for the school community following the recent death of a female teacher in Selangor.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said she understood the concerns among educators and the public over the incident, which she described as deeply personal, given her background as a mental health activist before entering politics.
She said the ministry had always prioritised the mental well-being of the education community through collaboration with NGOs, the Health Ministry, and counsellors.
“There is still much more we need to do, and we will continue to do it together. To all the teachers I hold dear, please know that you are not alone,” she said in a Facebook post today.
Fadhlina also urged all parties to respect the privacy of the victim’s family, avoid speculation, and give police space to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the incident.
She encouraged teachers to look out for one another, take time to listen, and check on their colleagues’ well-being.
“Sometimes, a simple and sincere inquiry can provide tremendous strength,” she said.
On Aug 1, a female teacher was reportedly found dead at a school in Hulu Selangor.
