Stress and overworking are the two highly concerning factors that may cause one’s body to collapse from overstraining. But in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we sometimes overlook these things, which results in adverse effects on our bodies.
Malaysian model and actress Amber Chia was recently hospitalised on Sunday (4th May 2025) after collapsing from exhaustion from work-related fatigue, which resulted in her undergoing surgery. A post on her Facebook shows the model in a hospital bed, bleeding from the face after sustaining injuries to her mouth and chin.
After her collapse, she was found unconscious by her 15-year-old son and was rushed to the hospital by her manager. Amber’s manager confirmed that the model has been under work-related stress and business obligations, which resulted in her exhaustion. The model later updated on her Facebook, writing, “Maybe (I’m) just too tired. Sorry“, sparking concerned reactions from netizens.
Facebook user @/Racheal Loh comments, “Take care, money always comes back, but life doesn’t. Health is more important than money, please rest more”. More concerned netizens pressed on the importance of not overstressing and sending well wishes to Amber. Malaysian influencer and lawyer, Kiang Jau Sang (江昭上), also shared his well wishes, “Oh my god! Work is work, but please take good care of yourself too. It’s not worth it. Health is important”.
This is not the only instance Amber Chia had collapsed under exhaustion. Back in 2023, she had a similar accident after falling down the stairs and injuring her head due to exhaustion. Work-life balance should be a priority to avoid the harmful effects of exhaustion and burnout, which can result in cases like this.
Are you a victim of overworking yourself?
