WEEK 6: DESCRIBING THE TERM OF 'SEJAHTERA'

 Assalamualaikum and hi everyone!!!

For this week's blog, I will talk about the meaning of  "Sejahtera" generally. "Sejahtera" is a Malay word that means wellbeing and prosperity and also a harmonious environment without any kind of interruptions. Dr. Suhaimi keeps mentioning "Sejahtera" and it actually means a multilayered concept that portrays a deeper meaning and cannot only be described with only one language. "Sejahtera" is not only about a good environment or prosperity but it is also talking about health and anything related to it. After I have learned about the concept of "Sejahtera", I have realized that we should apply this concept wherever we are. 

People only think that "Sejahtera" is fully about the good environment that surrounds us but it actually more than that. Even if you have a good friend with you, it is called "Sejahtera". People always take this concept lightly and not seriously. By applying the concept of "Sejahtera", we can be in a good environment and situation. "Sejahtera" also has many elements within it which are called SPICES (New Strait Times, 2019). SPICES is an acronym for spiritual, physical-psychological, intellectual, cognitive, cultural, ethical, emotional, ecological, economic, and societal dimensions. 

People should use this concept in order to achieve the real meaning of "Sejahtera" and living a good life. Lastly, I hope everyone will be in a good condition and in good health.
