MIM THORA
A SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE |
|
|

|
At the
Malaysian Institute of Management (MIM), we have noticed that as the nation progresses,
there is an unfortunate decline in social consciousness, traditional values, and personal
integrity among Malaysians. This is evidenced by the plight of abandoned parents and
children, road rage, corruption, lack of civic responsibility in public places, acts of
violence against women, and environmental degradation among others. Such atrocities are a
far cry from what the nation aspires to be in 2020 - a developed country cultured on a
platform of a united nation, with a confident Malaysian society infused by commendable
integrity, strong morals and ethical values, that is caring, democratic, liberal and
tolerant, progressive, and economically just.
It is towards this gap in social development that MIM conceived and initiated the
MIM-THORA Programme ten years ago, targeting at the self renewal of mid career individuals
in their mid thirties to late forties. It is aimed at helping them soul search, see the
meaning of life, what went wrong in society, the part they play in society, and decide how
they can redirect their lives to bring about the society that Malaysia aspires to be.

WHO
TO ATTEND
Managers at senior and middle levels, directors of organisations, entrepreneurs and those
who want to do more than managing self and organisation. |
The MIM-THORA Programme is
designed in line with the government's aspirations as reflected in the National Social
Policy launched by Tun Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi. The key to achieving real reforms in
the national landscape is a change in attitudes and mindsets, which is what the MIM-THORA
Programme aims to do. This residential programme provides a journey to human excellence
for the participants, so that at the end of the journey, they will renew themselves and
redirect their lives to lead a more balanced life with a responsibility to setting
examples and playing an active role towards creating a society imbued with the core human
values of caring, respect, integrity and compassion. Participants are encouraged to
emulate the highest sense of courage and moral discipline as exemplified by the late
Allahyarham Tun Hussein Onn during his tenure as Prime Minister.
