Honestly speaking, I was not aware of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) until my university which is IIUM itself has a course specifically to increase the knowledge of the students on sustainable development. I learned that SDG does not only apply to developing countries like Brazil, Philipines, and my country but to all other countries as well. My country which is Malaysia evidently trying its best to develop a more sustainable country.
Malaysia is trying to achieve the 2030 agenda that is the SDGs in 3 dimensions which are social, economy, and environment. There are 17 goals, 169 targets, and 304 indicators. Based on the Sustainable Development report from sdgindex.org (2020), one of the SDG achieved in Malaysia is SDG 1 (No Poverty) but we still have to maintain it and improve on other goals as well. It also stated Malaysia is ranked at number 60 based on the overall score of total progress in achieving all 17 SDGs. There is still room for improvements and there is still a long way to go in achieving the goals by 2030. Currently, we are in the year 2021 and we are experiencing a global pandemic (Covid-19) but it is still not impossible to keep continuing in achieving the SDGs for a better country.
