SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: MY REFLECTION

Urgent Issues in Desa Sejahtera Assalamualaikum W.B.T., For week 12, there was a call from Tan Sri Rector of IIUM for us to come up with proposals of possible solutions for the unsustainable issues found at Desa Sejahtera residences. After watching the video discussion with Rector about Desa Sejahtera, I found that there are bad health conditions, financial, and academic problems are among the issues that occurred. Not to mention, their house and living conditions are also very poor. To summarize, there are some requests of the Desa Sejahtera residents and hope for IIUM: 1) Gotong Royong with IIUM Community 2) Tuition/ Free Quran Recitation Class 3) Awareness program on Education, Hygiene and Health As for the financial issue, we found that some adults don’t have income at all, so they don’t have enough money to have basic necessities.

These terms are familiar terms that related to the topic "Transdisciplinary Approach for Sustainable Development", which means more than one branch of knowledge used to provide the solution for a problem. As we know, in order to solve a problem, we cannot view it from one perspective only, instead, we must see from multiple perspectives for a good and balanced solution, especially in sustainability.

For example, in order to reduce the spread of the covid-19 virus, each field of knowledge and discip...
