Anwar, who wears a green ribbon pin as a symbol of mental health awareness, made the call during the Minister's Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat.
"Mental health belongs to all, stop the stigma. The green ribbon I wear is an international symbol of mental health. Happy World Mental Health Day 2023," he said.
Several members of Parliament were also seen wearing green ribbons as a sign of support for the mental health awareness campaign.
When tabling the motion on the 12th Malaysia Plan Mid-Term Review in the Dewan Rakyat, Anwar announced that the government would establish a mental health institute to deal with the health issue that is becoming increasingly worrying in this country.
