Razak shared the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) visions in moving SDGs forward: 3M (Man, Mind, Machine) vs 3H (Humanity, Heart, High Touch) Education without soul will disrupt and inhibit the progress on SDGs, hence the needs to humanize our education system IIUM Roadmap 2019-2020 “IIUM Sejahtera” will consist of: 1. 5 Wisdom of Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan 2. 5 necessities of Human Existence: Faith, Life, Intellect, Lineage and Wealth (Maqasid Shariah) 3. Four pillars of Education (UNESCO: Learning to Know, Learning to Do, Learning to Be, Learning to Live Together) 4. 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5. 5Ps (Partnership, Peace, People, Planet Prosperity) In the end, Tan Sri proposed the need for a discourse to consider to at least have one more SDG - SDG18 on Spirituality (in order to reach the balance, middle path and humanity to encompass all the other goals as one of the prerequisite goal) #icsdg2019 (at Olive Tree Hotel, Penang) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0h_ORcHjL6/?igshid=1oib540fsenz5
