informatik kemasyarakatan berlanjutan


Explanation:
You won't get any hits by Googling this, but it's how I understand it.

My explanation:
health informatics= informatik kesihatan, therefore,
community informatics= informatik kemasyarakatan (societal/social/community informatics)
Frankly I don't know what the term CI is in Malay.

sustainable= berlanjutan/mampan

You experts out there are most welcome to improve on this, TIA!
