Part 1

Objective

The aim of this assignment is to critically examine Malaysia’s journey post-independence from Western colonisation, the implementation of the Sejahtera philosophy, and its relevance to current societal challenges. Students will analyze the extent of Malaysia’s decolonization through examples like language policy and legal systems, understand the principles of Sejahtera and its impact on Malaysian society, and investigate a current issue, such as mental health, through the lens of Sejahtera.
