SINGAPORE: Singapore is facing a "mental health crisis" that the government must do "much, much more" to address, Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan said on Sunday (Apr 27).

In his speech at a rally outside Sun Plaza on Sunday night, Dr Chee linked poor mental health in Singapore to cost-of-living pressures and cramped spaces.

He called on Health Minister Ong Ye Kung, the anchor minister for Sembawang Group Representation Constituency (GRC), to do more to tackle the crisis.
