What is it about?

Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (BIMB) is an Islamic Bank. Every operation and administration practices are based on Shariah. The workers must follow the Islamic behavior and ethics. It is against Shariah if we disobey Islamic doctrines. The way we dress, attending meetings, recreation programs, sports, etc. must follow the Shariah.
