SDG 10 : REDUCED INEQUALITIES

Image
 SDG 10 : REDUCED INEQUALITIES            Goal 10 in sustainable development goals is one of the most important steps in the transformative vision of the world in 2030. Inequality may not harm economic growth and thwart poverty reduction, but may also harm public and political relations through a lack of discourse and lead to less sense of fulfilment and self worth for minority groups. Inequality keeps people from reaching their full potential in education and their professional career. SDG 10 aims to ensure equal opportunities by eliminating discriminatory laws, policies, and practices and improving the regulation of global financial institutions.                       As discussed, inequality can cause individuals to feel like they do not belong to society and reduce self-motivation and self-belief to pursue an education. For example, a low level of education, or dropping out of school ...

 SDG 11 : SUISTAINABLE CITIES & COMMUNITIES The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015, provide a comprehensive framework to address the world's most pressing challenges. Among these goals, SDG 11 stands out as a crucial milestone in creating sustainable urban environments. Targeted at making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable, SDG 11 recognizes the pivotal role of cities in achieving sustainable development. Furthermore,  SDG 11 acknowledges the rapid urbanization occurring across the globe. By 2030, it is projected that over 60% of the world's population will live in urban areas. This unprecedented urban growth brings both opportunities and challenges. SDG 11 seeks to harness the potential of cities to foster economic prosperity, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. By focusing on sustainable urban planning, efficient resource management, and inclusive policies, SDG 11 aims to creat...

SDG 6 : CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

Image
SDG 6 : CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION             The phrase "water is life" refers to the fact that all living things depend on it for survival. In order for water to be appropriate for human consumption, it must be clean and free of diseases and bacteria. Sanitation on the other side is ensuring that one’s surroundings is kept clean at all times, so that it does not become a health threat for its occupants. People won't catch illnesses like diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid, and all other water-borne illnesses when they consume contaminated water when there is clean water and a clean environment. These illnesses frequently result in high death rates, which have a detrimental effect on a nation's per capita GDP.           Since people are attracted to living in locations with clean water and other social amenities, a healthy environment and clean water both help a nation's economy. Additionally, because of the accessibility o...

  SDG 5 : GENDER EQUALITY           Gender equality is when people of all genders have equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities. Everyone is affected by gender inequality including women, men, children and families. It impacts people of all ages and backgrounds. According to the United Nations, gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but also the basis for a society that is peaceful, wealthy, and sustainable. There is no sustainable development without gender equality which means it is really crucial for us to have gender equality in education, employment and so no one is left behind.                      Greater societal issues including illiteracy, legal restrictions, occupational segregation, and inadequate health care can all be linked to gender inequality.  According to research conducted in Malaysia in 2020, there are five variables that contribute to...

  SDG 3 : GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING           Good health and well-being are the two-term with different meanings as good health we can said the care of the human body and everything that can be done to keep it free from disease as well as to make healthcare accessible while well-being can be identified as  a feeling of satisfaction with life, a state characterized by health, happiness, and prosperity. These two terms are significant in our life as we need good health and good well-being in order to build prosperous societies.          In Malaysia, t uberculosis and the death rate of traffic accidents are common occurrences in our country. According to  Zaliha Mustafa, our Health Minister,  Malaysia has seen a spike number of  in the number of tuberculosis (TB) cases over the past year.  While the number of deaths has increased by 12 percent from 2,288 to 2,572 over the same time, the number of cases r...

 SDG 4 : QUALITY EDUCATION           The quality of education can be meant as the focuses on the whole child in term of aspect social, emotional , mental, physical, and cognitive growth regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, financial background, or region. Quality education  places children at the center of their learning and sees them treated with dignity and worth as well as  they feel valuable meaning in their life. Thus it is crucial to access good quality education as is a human right that needs to be fulfilled.          Malaysia has made significant progress in achieving complete literacy and ensuring that school teachers have the necessary credentials. The majority of pupils in Malaysia are proficient at reading at the end of first and second grades. Even though Malaysia has achieved tremendous success in several SDG indicators, such as at Goal Level, Malaysia faces major obstacles in achieving the SDG ob...

 SDG2 : ZERO HUNGER            This time, I would like to compose a post on the issue of hunger in Malaysia for the blog. As we already realise that hunger is one of the major uncontrolled problems the world is facing and it is almost somewhat similar to a global epidemic. The rate of hunger as of 2019 has been rising and the groups affected worldwide are mostly children. The socioeconomic effects of the COVID-19 problem are likely to make things worse. Hunger and malnutrition result in less productive people who are more prone to illness, which prevents them from enhancing their quality of life.           In Malaysia, sometimes thought of as having plenty of food, there are significant problems with child malnutrition there. Particularly, Malaysia has high rates of child stunting for an upper middle-income nation, with rates that are comparable to conflict-ridden nations like Iraq and Palestine. Therefore, Malay...

SUISTANABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

SDG 1 : NO POVERTY                      In this blog, I would like to explain an issue about the level of poverty in Malaysia which is related to the first sustainable development goals, namely no poverty. I have read Malaysia News on the website that Bumiputera community is most hardcore poor compared to the other races. According Rafizi Ramli, Ministry of Economy, said the poverty rate for Bumiputeras was 7.2%, followed by the Indians 4.8% and the Chinese 1.4%.                 I frequently question if Malaysia has met the Sustainable Development Goals , but what I have observed is that there are many more disadvantaged groups in Malaysia, as evidenced by the large number of homeless individuals I continue to see in the KLCC area even though we already inform KLCC is a developed city that is very popular with tourists. Additionally, many individuals are still begging for m...
