In Malaysia, sources from the Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) found that there was an increase in deaths due to suicide cases reported in Malaysia in 2020 which was 631 cases compared to 609 cases in 2019. As of July 2021, a total of 638 suicides were reported by PDRM compared to 263 cases for the same period in 2020, an increase of 143% or 1.4 times more.

The COVID-19 pandemic situation around the world has a huge impact on the mental health of every individual and Malaysian society is no exception. Social factors that cause excessive stress such as losing a job or source of income, isolation from family support and friends can also affect some individuals who are at high risk for mental health problems including depression. If this depression fails to be identified and treated properly, it is at risk for suicidal behavior.

With the theme "Act immediately, Hope Built" aims to increase public confidence to play an important role in preventing suicide incidents and eliminating the stigma associated with suicidal behavior. In line with the “Malaysian Family Concept”, the role of the community collectively to identify the early symptoms of depression and suicidal behavior among loved ones especially in the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
