Sejahtera Leadership Initiative (SLI) and Global Sejahtera, activate vision and long-term planning in nurturing a holistic human-centric and balanced leadership towards living in a harmoniously peaceful society with dignity. The action of SLI, and consequently the various recognition achieved, are aimed to support the development of Sejahtera framework, particularly reaching for a holistic approach on its ultimate mission: ‘To integrate the macro-microcosmic nexus of balanced leadership with universal consciousness centring justice’. (https://www.facebook.com/SejahteraLeadershipInitiative)

As CEO of SLI & Global Sejahtera, I am indeed humbled to discover that SISM has successfully operationalise the philosophy, concept, principle, and practice of Sejahtera Leadership that seeks to engage all stake-holders to release their best for peaceful co-existence. This is a refreshing rendering of sejahtera that can connect the saying ‘think global act local’ in a balanced and harmonious way of life. (sism.edu.my)

I still remember CEO Michael Kok Fook On said “Built on the foundation of the Soka (value creation) educational philosophy, SISM is devoted to empowering every student to fully realise their potential. Our school motto, ‘Be Genuine Learners, Be Global Citizens’ underscores our educational mission: to create an engaging and inspiring environment for fostering the future humanistic leaders."

In support, the Chairman of Soka Gakkai Malaysia (SGM) Negeri Sembilan, Dato' Chong Khin Sang who also sits on the Board of SISM emphasised, “In the ever-evolving education landscape, the conventional emphasis has moved from exam-focused learning to a more holistic approach. As an integrative educational development pathway, I found the all-embracing sejahtera ideals as a powerful tool in building a just, harmonious & sustainable society which is in line with SGI former President, the late Daisaku Ikeda's peace initiatives.” (www.daisakuikeda.org; www.sgi.org)

I can recall SLI Founding Convener, Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak articulated “Sejahtera is more than a philosophy or a system but a way of life, a guide to normative living within mutually supportive planetary boundaries in a spirit of humility, mutual respect, and balanced co-existence for all other co-inhabitants who shared this Planet Earth with humans.” (dzulrazak@gmail.com)
