9/10/23, 10:00 am - +REACH: 📢 *Topic* 📢
Last Thursday (5th Oct), Singapore launched a National Mental Health and Well-being Strategy which aims to tackle the issue of mental health from both preventive and curative perspectives, through the community, schools, and workplaces.
Under this new strategy, support for mental health will be expanded in various ways. More general practitioners will be drawn to provide mental health services under Healthier SG and, by 2030, all new 24 polyclinics will offer mental health services and two new psychiatric nursing homes and a psychiatric rehabilitation home will be set up. There will also be an intermediate residential facility for young people aged 10 to 19 who are at risk of suicide or self harm.
💬 *What are your views on the new National Mental Health and Well-being strategy? Are there enough efforts to support those experiencing mental health issues?*
_*More details on changes under the new National Mental Health and Well-being Strategy*_
📌 *Introduction of a tiered model of care*
A key part of the strategy is the introduction of a tiered model of care that provides support based on the severity of each person’s needs, across health, social and education settings. This starts with community-led mental health promotion, self-help and peer support for individuals who encounter distressing events down the road and receive counselling, or stress and anxiety management for those with mild symptoms of mental health conditions
📌 *Increasing the number of Community Outreach and Community intervention teams*
Currently, over 90 Community Outreach Teams and Community Intervention Teams have been set up in various social service agencies to support individuals in distress. In the next two years, about 10,000 more front-line personnel will be trained, adding to the existing pool of over 90,000 volunteers and front-line personnel trained in mental health awareness. Some 1,500 social service professionals will also be upskilled to support mental health needs.
📌 *Increasing support for parents*
Parents will be drafted to help support their children’s mental health and well-being. A Parents’ Toolbox is expected to be launched in phases from early 2024 to equip them with the skills to help their children.
📌 *Incorporation of Mental Health support into Healthier SG*
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said the Government will start incorporating a mental health element in Healthier SG and Age Well SG. Currently there are 400 GPs who are trained to manage mental health cases but this group will be progressively expanded in the next few years.

Coming back to the main topic.
Mental Health indeed is quite common than we acknowledge in Singapore context.
1. Saw a young woman keep asking a German young lady her name in a bus.
And she say she was scared.
The German lady ask her does she know how to go home, she keep saying she was scared.
When the German lady alight, she went up to talk to the bus captain.
I alighted soon and not sure whether the bus captain seek help on her mental conditions or not.
2. A young man is seen pacing up and down in a bus interchange, and sometimes, talk loudly to himself.
Didn't see any bus officer approach him to help. <This message was edited>

9/10/23, 12:41 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
This will be a failsafe and foolproof method to online banking.
That's all online scammers will have no chance to scam Singaporeans and Singapore residents from Nov 2023 onwards when adopted.
Whether through malware or through phishing.
Unless people foolishly still want to transfer their funds - despite going through such process. <This message was edited>
9/10/23, 12:42 pm - +Rama: 👌
9/10/23, 12:43 pm - +Frankie Wee: Older people got problem make them attractive promotion post advertisement Facebook in the end become scam.
9/10/23, 12:43 pm - +Frankie Wee: Android user very difficult solve security
9/10/23, 12:44 pm - +Frankie Wee: 3rd party download too late
9/10/23, 12:44 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
This scam method also will fail when the new method come.
Because digital authentication pass, manual authentication will fail.
Digital authentication will just present a entry in the fund transfer page.
But no actual money transfer out.
Bank will have to verify with the user physically before transfer.
So if scam, banks can stop it. <This message was edited>
9/10/23, 12:46 pm - +Frankie Wee: 3mins transfer too fast gone
9/10/23, 12:47 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
No money transfer without physical authentication by banks.
9/10/23, 12:47 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Btw bank operations under Ministry of Finance and MAS - in which DPM Lawrence Wong is the Minister of Finance and Chairman of MAS.
So DPM must have approved my recommendation before our 3 local banks can adopt.
9/10/23, 12:49 pm - +Rama: Great!
9/10/23, 12:50 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
I have gone through a few rounds with the ministry officer - so far the approach look sound and can't be scam.
9/10/23, 12:51 pm - +Rama: Expect enhanced measures along the way.
9/10/23, 12:52 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
But different banks will come out with different variants to achieve the digital in, physical out.
Let us wait for the various banks roll out end Nov 2023.
9/10/23, 12:52 pm - +Rama: Good way to end 2023 and start 2024!
9/10/23, 12:53 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
The "physical out" is to achieve my objective of "identify the real identity of the real users, and his/her real intent". <This message was edited>
9/10/23, 1:02 pm - +Kenneth Lee WM: a bit off topic regarding electronic payment, I just discovered that u cannot request SMS 2FA for every online transaction from bank/credit card company. It's only done once, then after that, the vendor can just deduct from your credit card freely.
The bank I checked with is HSBC.
I made a valid payment, HSBC did 2FA SMS authentication, payment was valid. Later I cancelled an order and placed another revised order. The vendor's system had some problems, it billed me twice without asking 2FA. Bank told me to take it up with the vendor. From bank's perspective, it was considered authorized (even for the transactions without 2FA).
9/10/23, 1:06 pm - +Kenneth Lee WM: A way around this, I discovered "Revolut" service. U can create virtual credit cards. Each time u deal with a vendor, create a virtual credit card, put just enough money in the Revolut wallet, pay vendor. Once done, delete the virtual card. That way if vendor tries to deduct unauthorized money from virtual credit card, it will fail.
9/10/23, 1:07 pm - +Kenneth Lee WM: u can create any number of virtual credit cards.
9/10/23, 1:07 pm - +Kenneth Lee WM: Our banks should have this type of service to protect us.
9/10/23, 1:08 pm - +Kenneth Lee WM: The risk is just the amount one put inside the Revolut credit card wallet.
9/10/23, 1:16 pm - +Kenneth Lee WM: Regarding mental health support, I think government should also enlist the help of churches, temples, mosque, other places of worship, to detect people with mental issues. eg: it is very difficult to detect depression by a cursory glance. only people around the depressed person can detect it and start the process to help the person.
9/10/23, 1:18 pm - +Timothy Low: Glad to know that the Government is doing something to normalise mental wellness - an aspect of our well-being which has been neglected for very long.
Before COVID, it was a social stigma to seek for professional help in this aspect. Now with the support of Government in this initiative, everyone will be given the access to mental wellbeing and seek help when needed.
9/10/23, 1:20 pm - +Timothy Low: The Government should also educate the general public on the difference between Mental Health and Mental Illness. Mental Health is something that *everybody* needs. From some of the replies shown above I think people are still confused and unable to differentiate between these two
9/10/23, 1:21 pm - +Timothy Low: <Media omitted>
9/10/23, 1:21 pm - +Rama: Yes
9/10/23, 1:22 pm - +Rama: Through family services centres!?
9/10/23, 1:22 pm - +Timothy Low: Can start from school or public education through adverisement
9/10/23, 1:28 pm - +Rama: VWO/NGO too!?
9/10/23, 1:43 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
A very good explanation of mental health and mental illness.
1. Sometimes along the way, it is common for people to face some mental health issues eg. Experiencing trauma along the way such as lose job, poor exam results, relationship problems etc.
Seeking help to heal the mental health when it occurs is needed so that people can bounce back with positive mental health.
I think MOH initiative to make such professional help readily available in polyclinics and GPs is a good move - as there will be less stigma and allowing medical professional to identify early some mental issues will prevent the problem from deteriorating and ensure a fast recovery.
This is like people occasionally succumb to flu or cold and need medical help. <This message was edited>
9/10/23, 1:46 pm - +Timothy Low: Yes. It is very different when one is feeling sad due to circumstances such as loss of a loved one vs feeling depressed due to genes/brain chemistry and etc. In either case both need to seek help to achieve positive mental wellbeing
9/10/23, 1:48 pm - +Smiley face: 9 October, 2023
"Accreditation?"
The setting up of an Accreditation authority to identify individuals/corporates credit and cash positions is a means of check and balance of preventing scams or AML. An example is an individual monthly expenses and income or movements of funds, all of these micro transactions are recorded and the trends, normal, abnormalities or signals will trigger Bank auto-intervention under extraordinary outgoing or incoming funds into a bank account. Bank customers both individuals and corporates are able to notify the Bank to release such one-off funds to any payee. The key consideration is the pre-determined amount allowed for fast transfer of funds within and cross border."
- - anonymity
Where?
In China/HK, the use of 'Union' pay card (银联卡) has a sets of restriction within and overseas. For individual use in overseas or transfer to overseas, a daily $5,000 per user. It is one check for AML, one check for cross border funds transfer and one check to limit scam. Just like all credit cards with limited liability and credit limit.
What?
In an example of scrutinized checks by Bank is in practice in Australia. The normal clearance of cheque or digital transfer will require up to a week or 3-5 days for international transfer to be done. Is it too much of hassle for such a delay or is it prudent to do so in order to ring fence against AML, scams or cirvumventing taxes?
How ?
Individuals are able to set the daily exposed limit while protecting the other linked bank accounts with the same bank. An advanced setting is to allow these pre-set limitations to sync all local banks including foreign owned banks.
For one-off big amount of funds to be transfered out of in; bank will need the account holder to contact them to provide reasons and thereafter process the transaction, physically at the bank.
For mentally disabled persons, a LPA must be Court approved and in accordance to the spelled legal papers and mandated legally for funds transfer and purpose.
Why?
All of these limitations are not to be wrongly viewed as a means of Capital Control but a safety margin of error, in this case is to protect all banking customers and the larger envelope as consumers of legitimate transactions of goods and services within a country.
The keypoint here is limits and personal liability.

2. Conversely, those who has diagnose mental illness can also be mentally healthy if they seek professional treatment and take their medication dutifully.
They can stay healthy like normal people, they can study, work and live normally like any healthy people - and they are not lacking in intelligence.
They can be smarter than normal people - if people get the wrong impression that those with mental illness are less intelligent than normal people.
3. Hence the definition of mental health and mental illness - need to be explained in clarity - and let people understand - so that unnecessary stigma need not be attached to those who succumb to mental health or mental illness.
So that they can seek professional help early to prevent deterioration.
Making professional help widely available such as polyclinics and GPs is certainly a wise move. <This message was edited>

9/10/23, 2:19 pm - +Sunshine Pooh: OCBC was the one who insisted to 'digitise' my account that I didn't want any kind of online presence for 🤨
9/10/23, 2:28 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
1. The outreach program is the most important contact point to bring people in distress, mental health deterioration or sign of mental illness - to seek professional help.
2. Like I mention in the 2 cases I witness, the 2 young persons definitely need professional medical help.
3. The problem is, many people are at a loss how to extend our help to them.
I keep running through my mind how to help them witnessing the sagas. Honestly I am at a lost how to approach them - because I guess they won't be able to understand me even if I want to coax them to see a psychiatrist.
4. Also notice that public officers (eg. the bus captain direct interaction with the young lady) and the young man pacing up and down right in front of bus officer transit office.
I am not sure whether did the public officer manage to bring them to see a psychiatrist and prescribe medication to them.
5. Likewise, those studying, working or living to such mental distress people - should be able to identify, and seek the right assistance to help them.
6. So the outreach program - the 1st contact point - become extremely important to help identification, control and management of those with mental health issue and those who are mentally ill - and make Singapore a more inclusive and better Society.
9/10/23, 2:33 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
7. But how to do it, will need public education.
Up to now I still got no clue.
Eg. Do we call a hotline to report?
Will an ambulance be send and transport the distress to see a psychiatrist?
Any relatives to perform the caretaker role to ensure the distress person take medicine as prescribe, and see doctor regularly.
The success of controlling mental health - is dutiful consuming medication and see doctor regularly.
Any many others....
9/10/23, 2:34 pm - +Rama: 😳🤦♂️😞😢

Those Eyes Don't Lie?
A prolonged period of failure will cause a lost of Self Confidence. With the multiplier effects of many events of non achieving / non performing will escalate into mental disorder from mild to severe. The final stage of insanity is the breakthrough into early stages of mental depression, usually these behaviors are 99% ilogical and temperamental or mood swings and/or sentimental, individual to individual self inflicted psychology and the state of mental well-being of a person. There are common cues such as isolation, silence (not to confuse with introvert) or difficulties in expressing whether in a group or a smaller setting. Start looking into the eyes! Is a temperamental person less competent vs a calm person in an highly evolving situation? How to extinguish failures and thrive for calmness?...
9/10/23, 2:37 pm - +Rama: True
9/10/23, 2:38 pm - +Smiley face: Let's delve deeper into today's topic to save our people, our young ones and our vulnerable!
9/10/23, 2:40 pm - +Rama: Money, peer pressure, cyber building, gossip, being ostracized and put down base on skin colour, academic qualifications, house hold type, income, being different! The list is endless !
9/10/23, 2:41 pm - +Smiley face: Let's start discussing....
9/10/23, 2:43 pm - +Smiley face: At school levels, from Primary to Secondary.
Watch out for the non-performers, understand each of the circumstances at home.
How to uplift these Chasing Stars?
Let's start with destigmatizing.
9/10/23, 2:45 pm - +Smiley face: We have to apprehend them at this young age or they will be left out when adulthood arrives and more real challenges will surface into unhappiness and aimless beings.
9/10/23, 2:45 pm - +Smiley face: There are smarter ways to motivate failures and celebrate successes!
9/10/23, 2:47 pm - +Rama: Children who come to school chauffeured, nus tends to stick to their own clique. Same with high iq or do well in eca. They tend to cast aside those who don't fit in!
9/10/23, 2:51 pm - +Smiley face: When did these social behaviors start?
Starts from home? And how about the response from School and teachers?
Let's calibrate from Primary 1, the idea of " to each his or her abilities"!
And abilities happens to be one part of future livelihoods or social contributions.

Unless the person do destructive things like damaging properties, hurt people, hurt themselves.
Else I don't think we can just call the ambulance to bring distress person for medical help.
Then in this case, can a Hotline specifically make for this purpose?
Else we will have miss the chance to bring professional help to those mentally distress.
This are 2 recent cases I encounter.
I have witness older persons in coffeeshop or a public place behaving strangely.
Wonder how to seek help for them?
Any hotline to call?
By the time help come, will they still be around? <This message was edited>

Not true.
I never beat my child from young.
I only use reasoning to educate him.
And he is a good young adult now.
9/10/23, 3:09 pm - +Rama: True for others!
9/10/23, 3:10 pm - +Smiley face: Good idea, moment of reflections!
9/10/23, 3:11 pm - +Smiley face: What is achieving, what is successful and the values of an one-off performance and the bad side of egoism?
When you tell your child, "your fishing rod may not catch a fish nor it will reel a big fish", you are teaching your child the reality of uncertainties in life. Buying a fishing rod in hand does not guarantee success nor catching fishes along the river of life. The importance of self-confidence is the pier to start off at a young age....
9/10/23, 3:11 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
I won't advocate using cane or beating.
Use reasoning will make your children think and behave better.
Caning instill fear but not necessary better behavior behind the parents' back. <This message was edited>
9/10/23, 3:12 pm - +Rama: Must be honest and sincere in wanting to stem this when speaking and not belittle or act arrogant!
9/10/23, 3:12 pm - +Rama: Non physical punishment common in first world countries!
9/10/23, 3:13 pm - +Smiley face: Some parents will take it otherwise a political move than truly sit down and resolve the behavior of a school bully not becoming a road bully in the making...

I think this is a better approach in bringing up our children.
I don't like violence or inflicting pain.
I always advocate win by reasons and good arguments.
9/10/23, 3:14 pm - +Rama: Settling via legal process will not help either. Neither is sweeping the issue under the carpet!

9/10/23, 3:15 pm - +Smiley face: SG is such a highly stable and safe place to live in...
Our people are softer than hard on many fronts. But on occasional irritations, or conflicts, things will escalate into ugly social scenes as depicted on news and MSM.
9/10/23, 3:15 pm - +Rama: Some parents simply are physically and emotionally drained from trying to make ends meet so children problem at school triggers anger!
9/10/23, 3:16 pm - +Rama: This must be dealt fairly without prejudice!
9/10/23, 3:16 pm - +Smiley face: Children under 21 years are legally under the care or parental charge! No excuse to be ignorant of the laws!

Where to find the sweet moment and correct time to bond with your children?
9/10/23, 3:24 pm - +Rama: Don't bring children into the world if you don't have time for them!
9/10/23, 3:26 pm - +Smiley face: This message will fit well with the young generation, perhaps it can be a political campaign theme just to win votes?... aka freedom from responsibilities and live life to the fullest?
9/10/23, 3:27 pm - +Rama: As such, no continuation of current generation so let's start sponsoring and adoption instead!?
9/10/23, 3:27 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
When my kid is young, I always beat him in arguments.
Now as young adult, it is 50-50.
He win 50% of the time, and I will swallow my ego to accept it when his arguments come out better and learn from it.

9/10/23, 3:32 pm - +Smiley face: So the next question is?
In an urban living condition, is mental health a lack and a challenge?
Will the future of an urban society have one or no kid, a new type of nucleus family?
9/10/23, 3:32 pm - +Rama: At the end of their life, fo a will with whom as benefits!?
9/10/23, 3:33 pm - +Smiley face: What is achieving and how about failures?
Societies celebrate success and achievement than failures. Why? The system of values and rewards of these exceptional outcomes always outpaid the millions of people struggling to reach their 'mini successes', more than 95% of the time failed than achieving.

Eg. The child want to play the hp beyond study time, your punishment is take away the hp and scold him.
My approach is different, I say I give you another 15 minutes to finish off, then you go study.
After you finish your study, I give you one hour to play.
Your punishment is better or my approach is better?
9/10/23, 3:36 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
End up my child complete his study, do well in exam.
And he is a happy child.
He respect me as a father and a reasonable friend.

9/10/23, 3:36 pm - +Rama: Well done

9/10/23, 3:39 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Well my child don't because he trust me and genuinely know I mean well for him, because I reason with him.
Once he know my reason, he trust me.
And then we have mutual trust.
Punishment will make him fearful, clamp up, lose trust and in future won't confide anything with you.
You lose him innately even though physically he stay with you.
9/10/23, 3:40 pm - +Rama: Good for you
9/10/23, 3:40 pm - +Rama: Blady nonsense!
9/10/23, 3:40 pm - +Smiley face: Imagining: The mentality of like or dislike? Is this a mental disorder or a disorientation?
No longer, a couple needs to digitise their legitimacy by e-filling the proper of a marriage relationship.
When comes a day of dislike, one party just changed the code in the main door electronic lock ; walla, the other half will be permanently cancelled! That simple, if the concept of family unit does evolves into a new type of quick family such a quick and easy disruption of a relationship will happen sooner than later?

I say I do both.

9/10/23, 4:46 pm - +Smiley face: Generating generic outcomes or answers, never specific answers.

9/10/23, 5:15 pm - +Smiley face: The Mystery of PSLE schedules?
freq = [x+y] + [covar + z]
freq... total exposures
x,y....core subjects
co-variants...non-factual subjects
z... non exam dates
The traditional schedules of the PSLE flows like this: Thur, Fri, Mon, Tue. Each day one written subject to examine.
How about rescheduling to Mon, Wed, Fri, Mon? This timetable will stretch the duration into eight days. It will have four days of no exams for recovery of the minds. A "4 by 4" approach to de-stress, time to relax and prepares for the exam day. Possible?
Over the decades, this traditional schedule has two off days that is Sat and Sun. What are the reasons?
Unless otherwise, this traditional schedule, perhaps is to further stress-test and sieve the top performers ranging scores from 4 points to 8 points, 9 points to 14 points and so on to the end point of UC? No choice, that itself is a spectrum of MENTAL stress in pupils and parents.
The other possibles to change are the O, A, Poly, ITE and University exams.
How about 6/6, 7/7, 8/8, 9/9 schedules!
A date for retaking failed subjects or to redo and achieve a higher grading? That's a way to stress relief and importantly, give all students their Second Chance- the trump card! Isn't it good or not so fair?

You must be crazy?
The system of education has to incorporate a portion to failed pupils. The traditional grading of A to F has to be modified to allow students who failed in exams to redo the subjects or those wish to do better, all within two months of recovery period and the results of these attempts shall be recorded as one attempt rather than stimatised as repeat attempts even for all localised professional exams.
So what is so important in rushing to achieve in the earlier age of academic studies? Traditionally, is to identify pupils that have demonstrated the rules of Self discipline and the abilities in learning in hope that such good attributes will transfer into the working world so as to achieve highest productivity at the workplace. Is it true and appropriate to continue thinking that academic achievements are equal to future successes in the coming transformation at the workplace?...

"Life's Second Chance!"
"In the pursue of Self-Confidence: You do it once and you redo it the second time and thrice you attempted; does it matters to you or it matters alot to others? What are the common stress factors among Students? Grades determined one's future? What are the common fear factors in adults? Jobs and Income will affect one's future success? All of these are consequential, elementary of living and matters most to the modern societies. How to reduce and fight-off these unintended stressfulness and fear factors? It has to start from young age, specifically at 6 years old and onwards into adulthood !"

The breeze vs the lull? (风平浪静)
What are natural and taught abilities of a person that will reinforce his/her self-confidence, self-esteem and in-built performances later on in life? What and how should education and society response to each individual abilities and their inevitable pitfalls? What are the levels of tolerance, the organisation cultures, and at the national level when failures happened at the younger age or failed to perform at work?
What is achieving, what is successful and the values of an one-off performance and the bad side of egoism?
When you tell your child, "your fishing rod may not catch a fish nor it will reel a big fish", you are teaching your child the reality of uncertainties in life. Buying a fishing rod in hand does not guarantee success nor catching fishes along the river of life. The importance of self-confidence is the pier to start off at a young age.
What is achieving and how about failures?
Societies celebrate success and achievement than failures. Why? The system of values and rewards of these exceptional outcomes always outpaid the millions of people struggling to reach their 'mini successes', more than 95% of the time failed than achieving.

Calm mind vs Chao mind?
The negative determinance of mental challenges or weaknesses are obvious if not observable through a careful onlook into any individuals and age groups. All of these early life past experiences will have unprecedented waves of effect and can augment into an individual DNA codes that will profoundly rewrites the next generation DNA or the following one (crossed generation), not just restricted to mental issues and can be physical too.
That's Impossible?
How to create a confident environment at home and at the workplace?
Only through multiple failures, from young age, a person will learn the rope of doing better when given a second attempt to make it rite or even better and importantly, life is full of failures!
Parents must reinforce to their children that not doing well in exams or falling at school is not the ending but a chance to redo each subject and better them. That's itself is the real essence of a successful education of a person at the receiving end. It is more than the earned diploma, arguably it is one milestone of achievement for each and every pupils that nothing is impossible when given extra chances, things will turn from impossible into possibilities!
That's the begining of conditioning a vital mental strength of Self-Confidence in every of our precious young generation growing into able adults with stable minds and happy families.
