Here is a detailed and easy-to-understand guide on how to update BRIM 2018 online application.

Yes, it is about how to kemas kini Brim 2018 secara online.

If you log into the BR1M Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia website, you DON’T see the word “Kemas Kini” (update).

Alas, it is similar to the many badly setup sites, where you need to poke around to get to the specific page which you are searching.

Kemaskini Brim 2018 Secara Online

I think many website designers need to read the book, “Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability” by Steve Krug.

The problem with many so-called designers, they forget the “function over form” principle.

Designers, remember this aphorism found in French aristocrat aviator-writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s 1939 book “Terre des Hommes” (English Title: Wind Sand And Stars).

“…la perfection soit atteinte non quand il n’y a plus rien à ajouter, mais quand il n’y a plus rien à retrancher…”

“…perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add but when there is no longer anything to take away…” (English translation)

(Wind Sand And Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Translated By Lewis Galantière, Reynal & Hichcock, ch.3: The Tool; p.66) (Another source.)

Sorry for the digression…

You can get them from your BR1M application, which I have reminded you above.
