Introduction
The Cooperative Institute of Malaysia (IKMa) Sarawak Zone was established on 1 September 1998 specifically to serve the cooperative movement in Sarawak. At that time, IKMa Sarawak Zone was located at the Tabung Haji Building, Jalan Satok, Kuching. Due to the increasing number of courses conducted, in 2001, IKMa Sarawak Zone moved and rented a new, more comfortable office at the Amfinance building, Jalan Haji Taha, Kuching, and subsequently in October 2006, IKMa Sarawak Zone relocated again and rented the Rugayah Building at Jalan Song Thian Cheok, Kuching. However, the facilities available were still unable to accommodate the needs of cooperators attending courses at IKMa Sarawak Zone.
On 1 June 2018, IKMa Sarawak Zone moved to a new building, Wisma Sego, Jalan Sultan Tengah, Petra Jaya, Kuching. This relocation provided greater comfort for cooperators attending courses at IKMa Sarawak Zone. However, due to high market demand for the building, the owner decided to sell the property.
On 18 May 2022, IKMa Sarawak Zone once again relocated to a new building located at ICOM Square, Jalan Pending, Kuching. IKMa’s location in an urban area is highly strategic, being close to facilities that complement the services offered by the institute. This move also provided increased comfort to all IKMa customers. Facilities include spacious lecture rooms, a fully equipped computer lab, a library with extensive cooperative reference materials, a multipurpose hall, a comfortable dining area, and ample parking space. IKMa Sarawak Zone not only offers valuable knowledge but also provides a conducive learning environment.
To ensure that IKMa’s services reach the targeted groups, on 1 January 2023, IKMa established a new branch in the northern region of Sarawak known as IKMa Sarawak Zone, Miri Branch, located at Times Square Miri.
