BIJAK Project

The BIJAK Project (Bersama Intu Jaga Kampung) aims to provide materials for the reference of the Village Security and Development Committees (JKKK) to undertake their roles and responsibilities more effectively, especially for communities in areas lacking internet accessibility, by using a device known as the Raspberry Pi. A software is being developed containing these relevant materials by the Institute with the collaboration of Associate Professor Dr. Johari Abdullah from the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology of UNIMAS. The proposal for this project has been sent to the General Administration Unit (Unit Pentadbiran), Department of the Premier of Sarawak.
