Saving the future minds of Malaysia

Depression will be a major mental health illness among Malaysians by 2020. According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2015, every THREE (3) in 10 adults aged 16 years and above are prone to experience some sort of mental problems. In Malaysia, the prevalence of mental health problems among adults increased from 10.7 per cent in 1996 to 11.2 per cent in 2006, to 29.2 per cent in 2015. Mental health problems are more prevalent in females, younger adults, and those from low-income families. The biggest rise is in Kuala Lumpur, currently at 39.8 per cent. However, only a small amount is properly diagnosed, and of those who are, few ever get treatment or receive appropriate care.

Sime Darby Property, in collaboration with Yayasan Sime Darby Property, Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA) and Mental Illness Awareness and Support Association (MIASA) is organising Sime Darby Property Great Minds Campaign 2019. The campaign aims to bring awareness to mental health issues through 3 key pillars:

Advocacy

Education

Community

The campaign will culminate with a charity-cycling event that will be held on 12 October 2019 at Bandar Ainsdale.
