Good work ethics and moral conduct need to be adapted in all our
work processes. It shows the values, principles, and an individuals
self-worth in performing their duties and responsibilities. The effectiveness of the principles of ethics depends on the individual themselves, where self-discipline and high mental strength will produce a
model educator and become the reference centre for the students.
Educators who are respected and honoured will give an impact to the
learning environment. So I am calling on all KKTM and IKM educators to always practise excellent work culture and positive work ethics. It is hoped that with this guidebook, every educator will be able to
increase their level of integrity, accountability, and work quality in
achieving the BPL(K) vision.

Values are important and lasting beliefs or ideals shared by the members of
a community about what is good or bad and desirable or undesirable. Values
have a major influence on a person's behavior and attitude and serve as
broad guidelines in all situations. So it is imperative that educators, while performing their duties, constantly observe and practise the noble values which are:
3.1 Loyalty
Fair in the sense of deciding on an action for certain matters appropriately. Fair does not mean equal distribution without considering
other relevant factors.
An educator must treat all his students equally without any prejudice
and personal gratification.
Allah says:
Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression.
(Surah al-Nahl, 16 : 90)

26
3.3 Trustworthy
An educator must bear his responsibilities with utmost honesty without being unfair or careless. Consistently with an honest attitude
and loyal to self and MARA without abuse of power and position.
An educator must also protect the confidentiality of divisional information at all times and to monitor and control all resources under
his care.
Complete his work in the time given and not conduct his personel
matters during office hours.
Allah says:
Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when
you judge between people to judge with justice.
(Surah al-Nisa, 4 : 58)

An educator has to be intelligent in doing his job and is able to
prioritise them. Every job and responsibility that has been executed has to be based on knowledge, skills and a high degree of
professionalism.
An educator has to be smart enough to put aside any personal
interest in any action that he takes. Undertaking his duties honestly and wisely using whatever resources available to reach the
objectives and generating quality products.
With that, every educator must always:
Be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to
effectively execute every task and responsibilities.
Able to think positively, be creative, innovative and proactive in executing his duties.
Have an open mind and be responsive to new ideas,
knowledge and skills and be willing to accept comments
and constructive criticisms.
Carefully consider all possibilities and think everything
through before taking action or making any decision.
Implementing the final decision made by the higher authorities even though he may not agree with the decision
personally.

3.6 True
An educator must have a true and sincere intention in doing whatever duties given to him just for Allah. Teaching based on accurate and true facts and making claims based on real facts and actualities.
With that, every educator must always:
Allah says:
By time, indeed, mankind is in loss, except for those who have believed and done
righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.

3.7 Patience
4.2.7 Honest
An educator must also understand that students come from various backgrounds and orientation and will require different approaches to learning, thus, the educator needs to be more prepared and resilient.
Allah says:
By time, indeed, mankind is in loss, except for those who have believed and done
righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.
An educator, clearly and transparently, without any hidden agenda, must provide through his actions to the
people who has the right.
Practise having meetings and discussion sessions in whatever action or decision that needs
to be made.

CHAPTER 4: ETHICS
Humility is the feeling of being humble, down to earth, respecting instead of underrating other peoples values or dignity.
In truth Allah does not look at your appearance nor your wealth, but Allah
looks at your heart and your deeds.
Allah says,
(Hadis Riwayat Muslim)
And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the
earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height.
(Surah al-Isra, 17 :37)
And (remember) Allah dislikes people who are full of arrogance, boastful
and vain
(Hadis Riwayat Ahmad)

3.9 Thankful
Being thankful is the aftermath of a job well done after all the
hard work put on it. Success is the pleasure granted by Allah
SWT.
An educator needs to have a feeling of gratefulness for all the
pleasures and favours that are received, sincerely accept fate
and never feel disheartened when something is not achieved.
Some of the values of being thankful are:
Feeling of gratitude for all the reward and pleasures received.
Accommodating trials patiently and accepting failures
calmly and passively.
Acknowledge those who have succeeded.
Be thankful to the superior.
Allah says,
And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely
increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.
(Surah Ibrahim 14 : 7)
Allah says,
So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not
deny Me.
Here are some of the best practices for continued improvement (Kaizan):
Of all the good deeds for Allah SWT are the deeds that are continuous no
matter how small.
