SINGAPORE, July 24 ― Parents, schools and society at large are “ill-equipped” to deal with young people facing mental health issues, President Halimah Yacob said yesterday (July 23), in response to the death of a 13-year-old boy at River Valley High School. A 16-year-old fellow student, who attempted suicide two years ago, has been charged with murder.
Parents face “great difficulty” in knowing if their children are acting out as part of their growth phase as adolescents, or if it is due to a much deeper issue, Halimah wrote in a Facebook post.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) said Boon Lay Place Food Village will be closed, after discovering seven Covid-19 cases among both visitors and workers at the market, on Thursday night (July 22).
Cases were detected through investigations into infections that were likely spread from fishmongers who visited the Jurong Fishery Port in order to collect stock to sell at food centres and markets, MOH explained.
The hawker centre, located at Blk 221A Boon Lay Place will be closed to public access for two weeks, starting from Friday.
MOH said the closure was meant to halt the chain of transmission and enable thorough cleaning of the premises.
