I'm Ajmal, also known as pembaris crew here at this site. I am senior year undergraduate at PennState University, USA, majoring in Actuarial Science.

Pembaris.com is initially inspired by the idea of gathering all functioning Malaysia Societies website and put 'em all in one directory. As I go on with the project I found out it will be better to include some other things like blogs etc as well.

As you can see, this site is pretty "hollow". I am trying hard over here to make it more substantial with demos and how-to use this site but at the same time, I'm busy dealing with the technical side of it. I might say I could use some hands, if any of us ought to be interested just let me know.

Any suggestions or feedbacks, please email me AT pembaris DOT gmail DOT com OR just use the contact form on About menu.

First and foremost, I would like to thank you for taking your precious time stopping by this site.

Pembaris.com started out as a solution (at least what I believe) of a question from myself. It strucked me when I googled some Malaysian Societies through out the globe and ended up finding a list of expired links & sites. Even worst, I found 2-3 different sites for the same exact society and it was like a trend if not all of the societies that I stumbled upon have them. This specific discovery brought me concerns before ideas. Somehow this disturbed me and I convinced myself to resolve this.

At first it was all about gathering Malaysian Societies into one package, but then everything grew by itself. Ideas went from Malaysian Societies to Travel & Photography and it couldn't stop just right there. Basically what we see here today is my best interpretation of the whole idea behind "pembaris.com".

The name sounds catchy to some, even political-ish to few. "pembaris" was suggested from a roommate of mine after few days of brain-storming among ourselves. We were looking for something short and originated from Malaysian Language (Bahasa Malaysia). Until now I am happy with this name and hopefully it will always be that way. *Just to make it official, this site has nothing to do with political views or what have you*

This project (it's far from being done) has been valuable experience for myself and I hope, for others too. There are many more to come and I welcome any suggestions or questions from all. Also I am looking for any community volunteers (perhaps sponsors too!) to become pembaris crew members for free that could help bring this site to it's full use (the ads are funded towards maintaining the site for the hosting and domain fees). For more info on that please "apply" the position in the job section on our main menu above.

Last but not least, although this project is pioneered by me but it wouldn't be working without of course the bless of Allah and supports from family and friends. Peace.
