Abstract

The philosophy of human governance is believed to be the pathway to integrity. Different than the conventional outside-in approach, human governance employs an inside-out approach to promote compliance. It highlights the difference between being human and human being. Being human is the focus of the philosophy while governance is seen as the consequence. Therefore, it is relevant to explore the use of the philosophy of human governance to be the mechanism to curb non-compliance. Oneness, wholeness, and excellence are the elements of human governance and understanding on the concept of man is fundamental. Malaysia is a multicultural country with its people allowed to practice the religion that they believe in freely. This paper explores the understanding on the concept of man based on the belief in ancient time and religious perspective that is fundamental in the philosophy of human governance.
