Peace, justice and strong institutions


IT is encouraging that so many universities and other institutions in Malaysia are adopting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), embedding them into policy and wider objectives.

Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions come under the ambit Goal 16, and as Malaysians, we should be cognisant of how these concepts are inherent in our own foundation too. As I’ve often argued, we can find in our pre-colonial past the nuggets of rule of law, checks and balances, and the explicit pursuit of peace and justice.
