Loneliness, self-compassion, and psychological well-being among adults in Sarawak: self-compassion as the mediator
Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: High levels of loneliness have emerged as a common experience worldwide, adversely affecting both physical and mental health. Psychological well-being is the realization of one’s potential through positive functioning. Self-compassion means being kind, mindful, and understanding toward oneself, which may buffer the negative effects of loneliness. However, studies in Malaysia remain limited, particularly regarding the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between loneliness and psychological well-being. Self- compassion plays a crucial role in enhancing psychosocial health among Malaysians. Integrating self-compassion-based interventions into culturally relevant mental health programs may strengthen emotional resilience and improve overall psychological well-being in the community.

Low fertility, high stakes: demographic and economic implications of Malaysia’s fertility decline and the case for a National Fertility Insurance Policy
Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: Malaysia’s fertility rate has fallen to 1.6 births per woman (2024), below replacement level for more than a decade. This decline is driven by delayed marriage, economic pressures, and limited financial support for infertility care. Infertility affects 1 in 6 adults globally, yet treatment in Malaysia remains largely self-funded, leading to inequalities in access and increased emotional and economic burden. Understanding these barriers is critical to strengthen national demographic resilience. Conclusion, Malaysia’s fertility decline is a multidimensional issue requiring urgent clinical, policy, and economic intervention. The National Fertility Insurance (NFI) framework presents a strategic, sustainable, equitable policy mechanism to improve reproductive health access, sustain population growth, and strengthen socioeconomic resilience. Strategic investment in fertility care can safeguard Malaysia’s socioeconomic future.

Abstract: The National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) established a new framework for family research in Malaysia by introducing the Family Well-Being Index (FWBI) in 2011 to measure the level of family well-being. To continue the effort of measuring and monitoring family well-being, LPPKN conducted the fourth series of the FWBI Study in 2022 and subsequently published the 2022 Family Well-Being Index Report (FWBI 2022).
Out of 8,460 households visited, a total of 5,236 respondents were successfully interviewed, consisting of 2,784 (53.2%) fathers and 2,452 (46.8%) mothers. The majority of respondents were aged between 40 and 49 years, Malay, still married, had secondary education, and resided in urban areas. More than two-thirds (68.9%) of respondents were from the B40 group with a household income of less than RM4,850.00. In terms of family structure, three-quarters (75.3%) of respondents belonged to nuclear households, where the father, mother, and children live together.
The FWBI 2022 showed that the level of family well-being was at a moderate level, with a score of 7.93 out of a maximum scale of 10.00. The 2022 FWBI score recorded an increase of 0.21 points or 2.7 percent compared to FWBI 2019. This improvement was contributed by five domains that scored above 8.00, namely:

Item Type: Research Report
Editor:
Year: 00/00/2018
Abstract: This study was to identify the socio-economic and psychological factors that influence the decision of women working in the public and private sectors to want to have children now, postpone pregnancy or do not want to have another child/children. It also to identify forms of support that can be provided by employers in an effort to create a family -friendly work environment. Nowadays, the issue of declining fertility rates is becoming a global issue, not just in among developed countries even in developing countries. Most countries have experienced fertility decline since the 1970s. United Nations Projections (UN) indicates most countries in the Asia Pacific region will experience a decline total fertility rate (TFR) until 2015-2030. Countries like China, Japan and Singapore have achieved TFR below the substitution level for decades ago. Rapid socio -economic development in Malaysia over the past five decades
has resulted in a decrease in births and deaths as well as an increase in migration. Malaysia is currently in the second phase of a demographic transition where fertility rates are increasing decreased while the percentage of the elderly population increased. Decrease in rate
mortality and fertility are closely linked to improved quality of life giving
significant impact on the growth and size of the Malaysian population.

Living the 'reduce, reuse and recycle' lifestyle
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/00/2016
Abstract: In this presentation, the author will emphasise the urgency for "living the ‘reduce, reuse & recycle’ lifestyle” because humanity is living well beyond the ecological limits of one planet. Based on ecological footprint analysis, a tool for measuring sustainability, the biocapacity for humanity to be sustainable in 2012 was 1.7 global hectares (gha) per person (Global Footprint Network 2016; EF&B in 2012). Yet, the actual footprint of 2.8gha per person in that year globally indicates we were consuming the resources of 1 ½ planets. When we note further that some countries only survived on the equivalent of 0.7gha per person while others consumed the resources of over four planets at more than 8gha per person, it highlights the inequity of consumption across the human population. If this trend continues without shifting to a ‘reduce, reduce, reduce’ lifestyle, we will not achieve the sustainable development goals or Agenda 2030. Further, we will be borrowing from the future generations and compromising on their ability to meet their own needs. With a footprint of 3.7gha per person, Malaysians are already consuming the resources of more than two planets. Next, consumption patterns in 550 urban households in Malaysia based on data from an EPSM survey will be presented. In order to make the sustainable shift to ‘reduce, reuse & recycle’ lifestyle, an institutional framework needs to be created to mainstream sustainable development, as advocated by EPSM’s ongoing Sustainable Living in Malaysia (SLiM) campaign. Serious efforts need to be made to reduce our consumption of energy (electricity and fuel), water, meat and waste generation, including unnecessary shopping. In conclusion, the author will highlight examples of living the ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ lifestyles.
