Background
The organizing of the 1st KAMPUNG BHARU MINI DOCUMENTARY

information in October 2014. However, due to various brainstorming session,
the documentary project is now changed into making it as a competition.
The concept and coordination of the project was reviewed, restructured and
updated. As a result, this proposal was made to ensure the organizing of this
inaugural competition to be a successful event.
It was renamed as KAMPUNG BHARU MINI DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION
