NILAI, September 7, 2017 – Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) Chairperson YBhg Prof Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak who is also SLI Founding Convener has given the clearance for Centre of Economics & Social Studies (EMAS) @ the Institut Kefahaman Islam Malaysia (IKIM) to adopt Sejahtera Leadership Model as its Wellbeing research framework.
This clearance was announced during the courtesy call of IKIM Fellow Suzana Md Samsudi at the Office of Tan Sri Dzulkifli this evening. The significant event was attended by Assoc Prof Dr. Mahazan Abdul Mutalib, USIM Director of Research and Dr. Haji Zulkifly Baharom, SLI – CEO.
The said model based on the acronym SPICES apart from the aspect of spirituality, the other 9 include: physical-psychological, intellectual, cultural, cognitive, emotional, economic, ethical, ecological and societal. Each aspect of SPICES must be equal balanced for each individual to achieve lasting wellbeing.
Tan Sri Dzulkifli explained “the relationship of each and every dimension must be stable between one another as though balancing the microcosmos of every individual with the macrocosmos in which he is immersed. The nurturing of a balanced individual is a vital agenda since it correlates to the reflection of the macrocosmos, a more universal concern situating humankind with other creations in a peaceful and harmonious concord of life.”
In addition to endorsement of Sejahtera Leadership Model for adoption by IKIM, the meeting agreed to accelerate deepening of dialogue and collaboration. As staters, Prof Tan Sri Dzulkifli presented USIM publications to Fellow Suzana and EMAS team.
