It has been established in 2013 with the aim to create the awareness about healthy and quality living. It is also the intention of SOP to lower the risk of preventable blindness, particularly among children and elderly folks in long houses who often do not have the necessary means to obtain immediate access to medical facilities.
SOP continues to be an active contributor to local community development through organising various economic support and social contribution programmes to contribute to the needs and well-being of the local communities in the areas of education, healthcare, disaster relief and others.
