Institutions in this sense are constitutional rules, organizational rules and standing orders of different governmental bodies, associations, unions, written agreements.

 SCSH 1201 (Sustainable Development : Issues, Principles, & Practices) 16/11/2022 (week 6) Wednesday, 10a.m - 12a.m Venue : Class online on Zoom In the 6th week the class takes place online on zoom. The topic discussed today is about how universities contribute to sustainable development. Everyone in the class needs to give their own opinion about the question. Among them is that the university needs to increase programs on sustainable development that involve iium students so that they can continue to understand the meaning of sustainable development and practice it in the university.

SCSH 1201 (Sustainable Development : Issues, Principles, & Practices) 9/11/2022 (week 5) Wednesday, 10a.m - 12a.m Venue : Online class on Zoom What I have learn to this lesson was 'sejahtera' acording to the Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan, unhappiness is due to the absence of kesejahteraan diri, the lack of inner peace.

The thing that caught our attention is that the IIUM logo is distinctive, each shape symbolizes a special and very important symbol in our lives. For example, the Qur'an in the middle of the logo, it seems to say that the Qur'an is the main source and guide for all Muslims, and it is also the main source in the development of knowledge. From observation we can...
