00:07that minimize stressors.
00:08Dr. Chua Suk Ning, founder of NGO Relate Malaysia, said it is crucial to identify psychological
00:15stressors and change workplaces to minimize them.

00:23organizational responsibility.
00:26Earlier this week, Public Service Department Director General Wan Ahmad Dallan Abdulaziz
00:31said more than 40,000 civil servants were at high risk of psychological health problems.
00:37Dr. Victor Goh of HELP University noted that customer and patient-facing industries tend
00:43to report the highest levels of stress.
00:47Goh said workplaces should provide employees with adequate resources to manage their mental
00:51health.
00:53He also pointed to increasing salaries as a way to stave off mental health problems
