About Us

Sabah Computer Society was registered with the Registrar of Societies in 19th November 1979. Since then, it has been actively promoting ICT awareness and literacy for the people of Sabah, a State in Malaysia.

Our Objectives are:

• To extend amongst members the knowledge and appreciation of computers, automatic data processing systems and Computer based automatic control system, and of theory related thereto;
• To establish and maintain the professional standing of members by developing a code of ethics and defining standards of knowledge in the fields referred to in Clause 1.3(a) of the Constitution;
• To foster an informed public opinion regarding computation and computing machinery and techniques related thereto;
• To take interest in the general professional welfare of the members and;
• To do such other things as the Society may think incidental or conducive to the attainment of the objects of the Society.

The Society’s membership comprised of individuals of different professions and academic background serving and contributing voluntarily to the well being and success of the Society’s objectives. The Executive Council that administer and manage the Society comprised of a President, a Vice President, a Honorary Secretary, a Honorary Treasurer and nine Executive Committee Members.

To achieve the objectives of the Society, information technologies related activities such as seminars, workshops, courses, training, study tour, computer camps, talks, briefings and exhibitions were organised. These activities were organised either by the Society alone or in collaboration with other organisations, agencies or government departments. Participation was opened to members of the public and the Society’s. Social activities such as sports, outing, gatherings and fellowship as well as visits to selected charity institutions were also organised.

With the increasing importance of ICT in achieving the nation's development plans by year 2020, the Society realised the responsibilities and the tasks that need to be performed as part of the Society’s contributions to these development plans. As such, the Society has accepted an appointment from the State Information Technology Council to have its President sitting as a member of the council. The Society has also accepted appointment to lead some of the task forces and sub-committees within the Council.

The Society’s appreciate the supports and sponsorship received from any individuals and organisations. As a voluntary body, these supports and sponsors are very important to enable the Society to attain its objectives.
