Research results find that the majority of respondents who participated in parenting programs in efforts to strengthen good fatherly personality achieved a mean score =3.46.

Data obtained through questionnaire is descriptively analyzed using SPSS. This is a quantitative research using a survey study of 220 respondents who were selected through stratified random sampling among fathers at the National Population and Family Development Board (hereafter mentioned as LPPKN) and Department of Social Welfare (JKM).

Hence, this research is conducted to identify respondents among fathers who participated in parental programs as a step toward reinforcing good fatherly personality and to analyze the factors for fathers' lack of involvement in parenting programs and activity. This is because there is evidence which shows that today in Malaysia family problems and cases are associated with the father such as irascibility, neglect of responsibilities, child abuse, incest and so on. A good fatherly personality is an important issue which needs to be given attention in order to overcome problems related to household and family.
