The Pan Malaysian Islamic Front (Barisan Jemaah Islamiah Se-Malaysia, often known by its acronym Berjasa) is a political party in Malaysia.
The party was founded in 1977 by the then Chief Minister of Kelantan, Mohamad Nasir, who was expelled from the Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS). His expulsion was partially due to an internal crisis within the National Front coalition of which PAS was then a component party. PAS eventually withdrew from the coalition and lost control of the state of Kelantan when Berjasa formed a coalition government with the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO).
