THE Sultanah Rogayah Foundation (YSR) holds firmly to the decree of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, that it remains free from political interference so as to eradicate poverty and improve the living standards of the Indian community in Johor.

Its chairman, Datuk R. Sugumaran said YSR, established in 2015 in conjunction with the Sultan of Johor’s coronation, focuses on welfare, education, entrepreneurship and business development to empower the community.
