Besides the Government’s resources and community programmes, I think it is important that we all play a part to prevent suicide by looking out for one another, developing mental health literacy, to better support ourselves and those we care about,” he said.

In September 2023, multiple individuals and organisations, led by advocacy group SG Mental Health Matters, announced that they were developing a national suicide prevention strategy to tackle the worrying issue.

The endeavour is named Project Hayat, which means “life” in Malay, and is co-led by former nominated MP Anthea Ong.

Of the deaths by suicide in 2023, almost 69 per cent, or 222, of the cases were male.

The suicide death rate in 2023 was about six per 100,000 residents. In 2022, the rate was about nine per 100,000 residents.

Adjunct Associate Professor Daniel Fung, chief executive of the Institute of Mental Health, said: “There has been substantial work from cross-sectoral agencies, from hospitals to social service agencies, on suicide prevention.”

A total of 322 suicides were reported in Singapore in 2023 – a 32.4 per cent drop from 2022 and the lowest such figure since 2000.

It was also the first time that the number of suicides dropped across every age group, suicide prevention charity Samaritans of Singapore said in a statement on July 12.

The drop in numbers comes after 2022’s record high of 476 cases, the highest since the Samaritans started recording suicide data in 2000.

Suicide was the leading cause of death for young people aged between 10 and 29 for the fifth consecutive year, despite a 31.2 per cent drop in numbers from 2022.


The Samaritans said that timely support, through building strong connected families and communities, can help to mitigate the risk of suicide among young people.
In 2023, the organisation launched a new programme targeted at young people aged 13 and above.

The initiative, known as Mindful Bytes, aims to teach young people how to engage in safe online conversations to support those who show signs of suicide risk, and learn appropriate words to use when talking about suicide.

Even though numbers have dropped, the Samaritans said there is still more to be done. “A more intentional effort is needed to ensure that each individual becomes a first responder, empowering everyone to look out for one another.
