Having battled with low self-esteem from being bullied during his formative years, Mr Mohamad Amin Othman's decision to join Mr World Singapore was a transformative one.

He told TNP that he is not merely seeking validation but hopes to advocate for mental health awareness and promote self-acceptance."The hurtful words and taunts from my past left me feeling deeply wounded but instead of letting those scars define me, I'm determined to heal and grow from them."

In secondary school, the bullying persisted and influenced him to alter his behaviour in order to stop being a target. "To honour her memory and our close bond, I got a tattoo on my ribs that reads: 'You saw me take my first breath, I saw you take your last.'" "Her death taught me the importance of not keeping my struggles bottled up inside," he said."I realised that silently suffering alone can have a detrimental effect on my health and well-being."Mr Amin now makes a conscious effort to open up and seek support when he needs it. He added that sharing his burdens helps to alleviate the pain and prevents it from slowly eating away at him.
