Sejahtera Talk By Rector IIUM
Sejahtera

What is Sejahtera all about?
The word "Sejahtera" is the word that we almost heard everyday - "Salam Sejahtera"
  • Sejahtera is not only about to live in balance way or Sejahtera life which most of people think to live peacefully.
  • Sejahtera is a very meaningful concept that has a deeper meaning than can be expressed  by any single word. 
  • Sejahtera taught us to learn, to live with nature, environment.
  • Simple acronym to understand what is Sejahtera all about is "SPICES".
SPICES
S - Spiritually balance.
P - Physically balance.
I - Intellectually balance.
C - Culture.
E - Ecology, Ethics, Economic.
S - Society.

There were a lot of programs about Sejahtera that held around our country and abroad. For example, "Kedah Sejahtera", "Wilayah Ceria, Rakyat Sejahtera" and a song which is "Sejahtera Malaysia". Our Rector, also had been brought the Sejahtera program to South Korea. His introduced and launched Sejahtera Centre and Sejahtera Forest there. 

Issues
  • Tan Sri Dato' Dzulkifli also said a lot of issues that had been reported to him such as, the usage of polystyrene and styrofoam..When he at USM, there were 700 polystyrene used in a week. 
  • The usage of plastic bags. 
  • These things are not biodegradable and we also do not know how to dispose it in right way.
As we can see, Sejahtera has become a important platform to provide us a sustainable life. With this program, it will help us, environment, communities and others. Living in a Sejahtera lifestyle is sure way of improved life balance. Our environment will be protected and enhanced - we will have a clean air, a natural environment. It will make people around us or community feel safe and have a healthy life. 


NST - What is Sejahtera
To conclude, the element of “Sejahtera” must be fully understood, internalised and practised because it is the fountainhead of good values/virtues that are innately human (and divine too) that will lead to a righteous and balanced way of life in nurturing the human person.

  Sejahtera Concept Means peace, harmony and prosperity. Sejahtera is more associated with the practise of having a balanced well being or even co-existing with common shared values and prosperity. It is implied that the achievement of quality of life that is both sustainable as well as balanced is embodied in Sejahtera as a way of life. (By Dzulkifli Abdul Razak (2020): Essay on Sejahtera: Concept, Principle and Practise. IIUM Press.)
