COVER STORY / BERITA MUKA DEPAN
‘REFLECTIONS ON MALAYSIAN ECONOMIC
POLICIES’ SENTUHAN ISTIMEWA TAN SRI
DR. SULAIMAN
Oleh Azni Husairi
M
ewah
dengan
ilmu
dan
pengalaman, Tan Sri Dr. Sulaiman
Mahbob nyata tidak lokek
berkongsi idea serta pandangan menerusi
buku terbaru beliau berjudul ‘Reflections
on Malaysian Economic Policies’.
Buku tersebut yang diterbitkan oleh
Penerbit Universiti Malaya telah dilancarkan
di Institut Integriti Malaysia (INTEGRITI)
oleh Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri,
YB Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar pada 7
November lalu.
Tan Sri Dr. Sulaiman yang juga mantan
Presiden INTEGRITI yang pertama
memilih untuk melancarkan buku beliau
di INTEGRITI kerana semua artikel yang
dimuatkan di dalam buku berkenaan adalah
berkaitan isu-isu yang membabitkan dasar
awam dan kebimbangan yang dihadapi
oleh pembuat polisi di negara ini tentang
tadbir urus dan perkembangan ekonomi
yang menyentuh soal harga dan inflasi,
belanjawan serta daya saing negara.
Berkonsepkan
kompilasi,
ia
menampilkan lebih daripada 50 artikel
menarik hasil tulisan beliau yang mana
kebanyakannya pernah disiarkan dalam
akhbar the New Straits Times dan The
Star.
Bagi beliau, Rancangan Malaysia Ke11 (RMK-11) misalnya yang bertujuan
untuk meningkatkan taraf dan kualiti hidup
masyarakat merupakan perancangan
yang bersifat komprehensif dan well
conceptualised, tetapi pada masa yang
sama berhadapan dengan cabaran dari
aspek pelaksanaan.
Dalam
tulisannya
beliau
turut
mengulas sikap segelintir rakyat Malaysia
yang cenderung membuat spekulasi
bahawa keseluruhan ekonomi negara
gagal diuruskan dengan baik, sedangkan
Gabenor Bank Negara telah menegaskan
asas ekonomi negara masih dalam
keadaan kekal teguh. Justeru, Tan
Sri Dr. Sulaiman menyarankan dalam
buku beliau agar masyarakat melihat
ekonomi dengan lebih menyeluruh
sebelum membuat sebarang kesimpulan,
terutamanya dengan penurunan Ringgit
Malaysia.
YB Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid dalam
ucapan pelancaran beliau berharap
agar buku tersebut dapat memberikan
gambaran dan kefahaman yang lebih
meluas
kepada pembaca tentang
dasar ekonomi dan tadbir urus yang
dilaksanakan di negara ini.

KONVENSYEN INTEGRITI NASIONAL 2015:
PLATFORM TERBAIK BAHAS CABARAN INTEGRITI
Oleh Azni Husairi
B
ertemakan ‘Integriti: Mendepani
Cabaran Semasa’, Institut Integriti
Malaysia
(INTEGRITI)
telah
menganjurkan Konvensyen Integriti Nasional
2015 pada 12 November di Auditorium
Integriti, Menara Integriti.
Majlis berkenaan yang dirasmikan
oleh Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri,
YB Senator Datuk Paul Low Seng Kuan
penting sebagai platform terbaik untuk
mencari jawapan dan penyelesaian terhadap
beberapa persoalan serta cabaran yang perlu
didepani dalam usaha menjayakan integriti
khususnya di peringkat nasional.
Konvensyen yang diadakan secara
tahunan ini mengetengahkan enam cabaran
utama integriti yang dikupas dan dibahaskan
dalam enam sidang pleno berbeza meliputi
pelbagai sudut. Antaranya ialah berkaitan
sistem
penyampaian
perkhidmatan
awam, peranan Jawatankuasa Integriti
dan Tadbir Urus (JITU) dan Unit Integriti,
pematuhan arahan dan peraturan, hubungan
kekeluargaan, media sosial serta pentadbiran
awam.
Menurut Presiden dan Ketua Pegawai
Eksekutif INTEGRITI, Dr. Anis Yusal Yusoff,
semua cabaran tersebut dikenal pasti hasil
daripada pertemuan dan perbincangan

16th November 2015
The monitoring and evaluation stage of the CIB project
could take either a six-monthly or annual reporting cycle
to which its ultimate measure is rate of fixing the problems
(Fix-Rate) and progress monitoring post completion of initial
cycle (Closing the Loop).
First stop was the Integrity Action (IA) office in London,
where a meeting with its Chief Executive Officer, Joy
Saunders, Lotta Westerberg, Integrity Education Network
and Edward Irby, Community Integrity Building (CIB) was set.
Six main agendas were brought up during the session;
the CIB Project which includes the apparatus and the
assessment stage, global forum on Ethics and Integrity
database, Integrity Leadership Course, Roots to Fruits
In implementing the CIB project, tools identified include
household surveys, interviews and photos evidence which
can be utilised by either offline or online modes. Back end
forms are to be translated into Bahasa Melayu to enable mass
handling. Tech geeks will be happy to find these tasks are
available for immediate access via Google Play on Androids.
IA founder, Fredrik Galtung, presses on the importance
of bringing citizen and public officials together as a key
element of the fix rate which, “measure[s] the incidence with
which transparency and accountability-related problems are
resolved to the satisfaction of key stakeholders.”

This indicator can provide a benchmark for those
committed to reform that actually tracks progress. These
initiatives are done so that the voices of the citizens can
be heard to ensure a bottom-up feedback and effective
solutions will be put into action.

They headed off to France, to the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Paris
Office for a meeting with Director, Directorate for Education
and Skills, Andreas Schleiher and Senior Adviser Global
Relations, Directorate for Education and Skills, Elizabeth
Fordham to discuss issues related to the ASEAN Integrity
Dialogue (AID) 2015 and values of Integrity for schools.
The discussion was centered on the values of integrity
as supported by the OECD policy research works
diverging from the marginal and minimal anti-corruptioncentric agenda. The AID will incorporate a thematic-talk
or a focused group discussion involving OECD and the
Ministries of Higher Education and Education of Malaysia.

The duo then met with Policy Advisor COST
International secretariat and Engineers Against Poverty,
Bernadine Ferns on the next day. The session was
focused on integrity initiatives in the construction industry
such as the engagement of COST with partners within
the anti-corruption circles in the past three years and the
development of Integrity in Construction modules.
20th November 2015
They attended the World Forum for Ethics in Business
(WFEB) and the session saw initiatives brought up such as
presenting the Global Award for Ethics in Business which
recognises personalities and institutions with exemplar
leadership in business ethics.

The session further entailed on to the concept of
Double bottomline in which the conventional bottom
line to measure fiscal performance (financial profit and
loss) will be expanded by adding a second bottom line
to measure the performance impact in terms of positive
social impact.
Although the travelling stops for now, but the mission
has not ended yet as the effort in trying to achieve the
right precondition for a sustainable surrounding in the
personal, business and political aspect within the society
will be a continuous one.

BRIEFING SESSION ON THE 2ND
ASEAN INTEGRITY DIALOGUE 2015
By Zareena Izmin Ismail and
Aimi Farhana Mohd Amin
A
briefing session on the second
ASEAN Integrity Dialogue (AID)
2015 planned for December 10,
2015 was held at The Malaysian Institute
of Integrity on the 5th of November 2015.
The event saw Embassy Officers and
Education Attachés from each ASEAN
country participating in the session as part
of INTEGRITI’s preparation for the actual
dialogue.
President and Chief Executive Officer of
INTEGRITI, Dr Anis Yusal Yusoff who was
the main organiser of the inaugural ASEAN
Integrity Dialogue in 2008, in his briefing
mentioned that AID is a good platform
for ASEAN countries to come together
to share and showcase each country’s
initiatives and good practices, There were
many valuable outcomes from the previous
dialogue and one of them is how the effort of
promoting integrity can be further enhance
through the Higher Education sector.
He also stated that it would be more
meaningful if the dialogue could touch
deeper into the lower education and start
at preschool level. For a start, tertiary
education would be a good stage to begin
with. Dr Anis further commented that
based on the Corruption Perception Index
(CPI), it is a dismay to note that the ranking
of almost all ASEAN member countries are
low except for Singapore.
In overcoming this, he reminisced on
the collaborative works done with the
ASEAN Secretariat on how to bring out
the work on promoting governance and
integrity amongst the sovereign countries.
The ASEAN member countries are indeed
ready to position themselves alongside
Singapore on the CPI ranking.
Proceedings from the inaugural
Dialogue were documented and given to
all members for further follow up actions
and it is hoped that through this discussion,
the ASEAN member countries are able to
form regional cooperation to learn from
each other on the initiatives that have been
done or are still taking place in enhancing
and promoting integrity at higher education
level.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR WAY OF LIFE
By Dr. Anis Yusal Yusoff
Published in The New Straits Times, 8 November 2015
M
any have asked me “How can we eradicate corruption?”
I often reply that “it is an impossible thing to do - until
we understand what motivates people and gets them
to instinctively behave with integrity”.
have no idea what they are worth. We no longer ask of judicial
rulings or legislatives acts, whether they are good, fair, just or
right. Or, whether they will help bring about a better society or a
better world.
Different people have different ideals and beliefs. We cannot
force everyone to want the same thing but that should not stop us
from working to achieve the greater good.
Those used to be important political questions, even if they
invited no easy answers. We must learn once again to ask
ourselves these hard questions if we are serious in wanting a
better future for our children and their children.
We need to see and understand the big picture - that the rich
do not want the same thing as the poor. Those who depend on
their jobs for their livelihoods do not want the same thing as those
who live off investments and dividends. Those who depend on
the public transport, education and protection, do not seek the
same thing as those who can afford private transport, education
and protection. If we were to assume that everyone wants the
same thing, then we are mistaken and misled.
Societies are complex and there are conflicting interests. To
assert otherwise, that is to deny the distinctions of class, wealth or
influence, is akin to promoting one set of interests above another.
Markets have a natural disposition to favour needs and
wants that can be reduced to commercial criteria or economic
measurements. But, what of those goods/benefits that human
beings value that do not lend themselves to quantification? What
of well-being, fairness or equity? Such considerations mean more
to most people, that aggregate or even individual profit or growth.
When we talk of our public education for example, it often
boils down to how our schools or universities are performing in an
imaginary global competition. Little, if nothing at all is discussed
whether the kinds of schools or universities we ought to have,
fits into the pictuare of the kind society we wishes to live in. The
question of whether our schools and universities produce decent
individuals who are responsible and morally aware, sits for most
parents and their children, on a rung far, far below whether they
will end up with goods jobs that will make them endless amounts
of money.
This is something I fear that is profoundly wrong with the way
we live today. For decades, we have made a virtue out of the
pursuit of material self-interest. We know what things cost but
The questions of integrity or the lack of it cannot be furnished
by viewing it purely from the point of view of laws or institutions.
Integrity means to act with virtue. Yet, the cultivation of virtue
cannot be channelled merely through the imposition of rules
and regulations. Moral awareness cannot be a by-product of
legislation; wise and effective legislation are the by-products of
a good and decent society - only then can we begin to tackle
corruption and other forms of immorality more effectively.
If we are serious about tackling the problems of moral erosion
in society (and I take corruption and the lack of integrity to be
critical symptoms of this), then we must be able to see the
problem in its proper relief. We cannot afford to be complacent.
True, sensible laws and public institutions as well as having the
right people to man and enforce them, are an integral part of the
process. But, that is only a part of it. Focusing our struggles on
this aspect of the conundrum merely deals with the symptoms of
the problems - not the cause.
To tackle the cause, we must first understand the problem.
To understand the problem, we must be able to frame the right
questions. In this, I think, we have sold ourselves short. For
example, in our haste to show that we have begun to tackle the
question of corruption effectively, we continually look towards
various international indices, such as the Corruption Perception
Index of Transparency International, which rank the levels
of corruption in a given country and the efficacy of efforts to
overcome the problem.
Thus, just as how we imagine the qualities of our universities
as best illustrated through ranking exercises, we frequently
do the same for the way we think about corruption. If we have
improved five places from last year’s standing, we must have
10

done something right. This is both dangerous and misleading.
Indices show generalised indicators; they cannot be the guiding
principle in which we think about the problems of our society. No
doubt, indices have a general utility but they only reveal a small
piece of the puzzle.
In the end, we must have a vision of the kind of society we
want, and ultimately, the efforts we invest through our education
system must be guided by this vision. It does us much greater
harm to abdicate the responsibilities we have for each other as
members of this society to merely a universal template and hope
that this will solve our problems.
One key underlying principle that is important in shaping the
institutional arrangements to combat the moral erosion of society
is a holistic education system, where for example, an accounting
teacher would constantly remind his students that the lesson
taught are not to be exploited for creative accounting to avoid
paying taxes, but for the knowledge gained to be used responsibly
and to always do what is right.

INTEGRITY A MUST IN VOLUNTEERISM
By Amerul Muner Mohammad
Published in The Star Online, 6 November 2015
W
e are in the midst of the northeast monsoon again.
While some of the victims
of last year’s flooding in Kelantan are still
struggling to get new accommodation to
replace their houses that were completely
destroyed, they also have to prepare for
another onslaught of a natural disaster
which is beyond their control. The trauma of
the previous year’s disaster is still haunting
them and now, new threats are looming.
Malaysians are known for their
generosity. When disaster strikes, a lot of
volunteers will spring into action to help the
victims either by doing relief work on the
ground or contributing financially or in kind
from far away.
This “spontaneous volunteerism” is a
new culture in this country that should be
further encouraged.
Lately, youths and retirees seem to form
a large segment of volunteer groups locally.
Youths seem to be excited in getting
their hands dirty and roughing it out in the
stricken areas while retirees mainly focus
on the rehabilitation work at the postdisaster stage.
Accountability is the main thrust in
volunteerism.
Experience shows it is easy for
volunteer groups, especially among the
spontaneous volunteers, to go astray with
the donations.
Volunteerism requires a high degree
of passion, humility, patience, endurance,
flexibility, accountability and, most
importantly, integrity.
Some volunteers do not intend to
siphon the donated resources but the
desire to help the victims may diminish as
time goes by and things go back to normal.
Human power is the main ingredient
in any work but nothing will move without
resources.
In rare cases, there are some who
may plan to defraud and benefit from the
disasters and people’s generosity.
Millions of ringgit is collected during
disasters and those millions are meant to
be spent on helping the victims.
Volunteerism without integrity is
tantamount to breach to trust. It is a
heinous act as no one should benefit from
the suffering of other people.
While most donors hardly ask how the
donations are used, it is incumbent upon
the recipients to use the funds to reduce
the pain and hardship of the victims.
We must put the interests of the
community before self-interest when we
set out on the path of volunteerism.

EXPOSE CORRUPT PRACTICES
By Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye
Published in The Star Online, 6 November 2015
E
thics and good moral values
are essential if we are to have a
clean, efficient and trustworthy
administration.
Civil servants must develop a culture
which will help pave the way for the
emergence of not only a dedicated,
efficient and ethical civil service but also
one which emphasises management
integrity.
To achieve this objective, it is
necessary to have a work culture that
incorporates honesty, trust, discipline,
responsibility and transparency.
While we welcome the incorporation
of noble values in the civil service, what
really is important in the final analysis
is to ensure all civil servants practice
these noble values. Mere slogans and
lip service are not going to help.
Corruption has been with us since
the beginning of human organisation.
Yet we cannot be unconcerned and
complacent about corruption because
it attacks not only the economic and
social fabric of society but also the
moral foundations of order. Above all,
we must never allow corruption to be
institutionalised.
Corruption is pervasive, affecting
almost every aspect of life. From
the person who wants his business
application to be processed speedily
to those who want to expedite their
application for low-cost housing, bribery
can take place. It manifests itself in so
many other forms where the public
interacts with the authorities.
It has been proven in many instances
that an individual took bribes mainly
because he is greedy and is presented
with opportunities to commit corrupt
practices. It is indisputable that greed is
the motivating factor behind most, if not
all, corrupt practices.
Officers involved in corruption
are mostly those in charge of law
enforcement.
To
eradicate
such
practices, all law enforcement agencies
should have an internal audit system
which can detect irregularities.
Efforts should continuously be made
to instil integrity and ethical values
among law enforcement officers because
persons of high integrity are not likely to
be involved in corrupt practices whatever
the circumstances.
All public administrators and civil
servants must discharge their duties
with integrity and honesty, besides being
ethical and transparent.
I believe the inculcation of noble and
ethical values accompanied by adherence
to the oath of good governance are the
most effective ways to fight corrupt
practices in the civil service.
We need to build strong mechanisms
which will subject corrupt practices to
public scrutiny.
The information age is providing
citizens
and
non-governmental
organisations with powerful tools and
information to combat local corruption.
Likewise,
the
global
economy
puts tremendous pressure on local
governments to rid themselves of factors
that reduce their competitiveness.
Corruption is clearly a factor that can
and does reduce the attractiveness of
one community over another.
The
movement
towards
decentralisation, accountability and
transparency at the local government
level is gathering momentum. In
this context, the enormous costs
of corruption are being explicitly
recognised, as is the urgent need to
correct governmental malfeasance.
Corruption
is
an
entrenched
symptom of misgovernance often
reflected in patronage, red tape,
ineffective revenue-generating agencies,
large-scale bribery in procurement and
failure to deliver services to city dwellers.
But when local officials in charge
of public resources are accountable
to their citizens, decision-making
can become participatory. In turn,
a participatory process can be the
cornerstone of a national strategy to
reform “sick” institutions and improve
the welfare of city dwellers.
The
challenge
facing
local
governments is to develop innovative
ways of building effective, accountable,
and transparent systems.
Cities that implement and sustain
accountable and transparent systems
as well as good governance reform
programmes benefiting the urban
dwellers can expect to attract financial
and human resources and become

instil moral and ethical values among
their staff.
In the final analysis, preventing
corruption helps to raise city revenues,
improve service delivery, stimulate
public confidence and participation, and
win public support.
This is essential as honesty, sincerity
and discipline are important elements
every civil servant must possess when
daischarging his or her duties to the
public.
In line with the creation of transparent
local authorities, steps must be taken to
Morals and ethics are not only
important to the civil service but also
to all sectors of Malaysian society.
This is because graft and other forms
of malpractices are also evident in the
corporate world, non-governmental
organisations and even voluntary
organisations.
The answer really lies in every
Malaysian as to whether he or she is
prepared to make honesty and integrity
a way of life.

yang akhirnya setiap ahli keluarga terpancar sifat keperibadian
sebagai role model atau ikon integriti kepada anak-anak.
Dengan tema “Saya Sayang Keluarga Saya”, maka keluarga
yang berintegriti juga sebagai asas kepada pembangunan insan
madani mempunyai tingkah laku beretika bagi membentuk
sebuah negara yang sejahtera lagi membangun serta makmur.

Definisi keluarga menurut Kamus Dewan adalah seisi
keluarga yang terdiri daripada suami, isteri dan anak, manakala
bahagia pula bermaksud suasana senang dan aman. Islam
pula agama yang selamat dan secara keseluruhan maksudnya
ialah pembinaan sebuah kehidupan yang bahagia berlandaskan
tuntutan agama yang benar demi membina keluarga sakinah,
mawaddah warahmah.
Firman Allah SWT: “Dan antara tanda-tanda kekuasaanNya dan rahmat-Nya bahawa Dia menciptakan untuk kamu
(wahai kaum lelaki), isteri-isteri daripada jenis kamu sendiri,
supaya kamu bersenang hati dan hidup mesra dengannya,
dan dijadikan-Nya antara kamu (suami isteri) perasaan kasih
sayang dan belas kasihan. Sesungguhnya yang demikian itu
mengandungi keterangan-keterangan (yang menimbulkan
kesedaran) bagi orang-orang yang berfikir.” (Surah Al-Rum: 30:
2)
Antara amanah yang dipikul setiap kepala keluarga
adalah membersihkan rumahnya daripada kemungkaran dan
mengharuskan anggota keluarga mengamalkan kewajipan dan
perkara sunah dalam agama.
Rasulullah SAW selaku uswatun hasanah yang patut
dicontohi telah membimbing umatnya dalam hidup berkeluarga
agar mencapai sebuah impian kehidupan rumah tangga yang
sakinah mawaddah warahmah. Baginda sentiasa menggalakkan
suami isteri saling ta’awun (tolong-menolong) dan bekerjasama
dalam bentuk saling menasihati dan saling mengingatkan dalam

kebaikan dan ketakwaan, sebagaimana sabda baginda:
“Nasihatilah isteri-isteri kamu dengan cara yang baik, kerana
sesungguhnya para wanita diciptakan daripada tulang rusuk yang
bengkok dan yang paling bengkok adalah bahagian atasnya,
maka jika kamu (para suami) keras dalam meluruskannya
(membimbingnya), pasti kalian akan mematahkannya. Dan jika
kamu membiarkannya (yakni tidak membimbingnya), maka tetap
akan bengkok. Nasihatilah isteri-isteri (para wanita) dengan cara
yang baik.”(Riwayat Abu Hurairah)
Dalam pembinaan keluarga bahagia ini, dasarnya perlu selari
dengan kehendak syarak agar memberi kesan yang baik kepada
diri dan keluarga. Di samping itu, beberapa perkara perlu diambil
perhatian iaitu:
* Pertama, meletakkan akidah yang kukuh dan mantap
kepada Allah SWT sebagai asas utama pembinaan keluarga
bahagia.
* Kedua, mematuhi garis panduan yang diajar oleh Islam
dalam memahami tanggungjawab dan amanah yang dipikul.
* Ketiga, mengakui dan bersedia melaksanakan ketaatan
sebagai suami, isteri dan anak-anak.
Syurga); dan Kami (dengan itu) tidak mengurangi sedikit pun
daripada pahala amal-amal mereka; tiap-tiap seorang manusia
terikat dengan amal yang dikerjakannya.”
Apakah peranan kita sebagai ibu bapa dalam melunaskan
tanggungjawab mendidik, membimbing dan mengajar setiap
ahli keluarga kita?
i. Bertutur bicara dan berkomunikasi dengan sopan dan lemah
lembut. Jangan sesekali mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat, kotor
dan menyumpah kerana itu adalah doa untuk anak.
ii. Anugerahkan nama yang baik-baik kepada anak-anak
mengikut sunah Rasulullah SAW. Anak lelaki berilah nama
Muhammad pada awalnya atau pilihlah nama-nama sahabat,
ulama dan perkataan bahasa Arab yang memberi erti baik.
iii. Berusaha memastikan rezeki diraih halalan toyyiban agar
sumber makanan halal dan berkat serta dijauhi oleh api
neraka.
iv. Memupuk semangat cinta kasih pada agama dalam jiwa
sanubari anak-anak. Agama bakal menjadi pendinding dan
benteng hamba Allah yang bertakwa.
v. Berusaha mendidik anak menjadi soleh dan solehah.
* Keempat, menjadikan diri sebagai contoh dan teladan yang
terbaik.
* Kelima, sentiasa memupuk rasa kasih sayang dan
silaturahim dalam suasana ceria.
vi. Memantau dan mengawal tingkah laku anak-anak demi
menunjukkan tahap kepedulian yang tinggi terhadap aktiviti
harian mereka.
vii. Tempat tidur anak-anak hendaklah diasingkan daripada
ibu bapanya apabila usianya meningkat tujuh tahun.
Imam Ibnu Katsir menyatakan Allah SWT menganugerahkan
satu nikmat yang sangat besar untuk hamba-Nya yang beriman,
di mana anak-anak atau ahli keluarga mereka akan dihimpunkan
semula oleh Allah SWT bersama ibu bapa mereka di dalam
syurga. Perhimpunan ini adalah penyempurnaan nikmat Allah
SWT ke atas mereka yang pernah berkumpul di dunia ini sebagai
sebuah keluarga yang diasaskan dengan keimanan, meskipun
mereka berbeza dari segi amalan.
Pada hemat penulis, institusi keluarga yang telah dibina de
ngan penuh integriti dapat menghidupkan suasana persekitaran
yang kondusif, aman damai dan sejahtera serta melimpahkan
keberkatan kepada masyarakat serta negara. Mudah-mudahan
negara kita akan menjadi sebuah negara yang maju, makmur,
cemerlang dan berintegriti.
Allah SWT menjelaskan di dalam Surah at-Thur ayat 21 yang
bermaksud: “Dan orang-orang yang beriman yang diturut oleh
zuriat keturunannya dengan keadaan beriman, Kami hubungkan
(himpunkan) zuriat keturunannya itu dengan mereka (di dalam
Mudah-mudahan Allah memberikan taufik-Nya kepada kita
semua untuk membentuk dan memperbaiki rumah tangga kita
agar penuh ketenangan dan kecintaan, seraya mengamalkan
etika dan integriti menurut syariat Islam.
