About Us
SIPJ was born in 1994 after the idea was set in motion in 1993 by a core of professional and established women, including Dato' Anusha Santhirasthipam, Datin Tina Subramaniam and Puan Sri Siew Yong Gnanalingam. The Charter President of SIPJ was Datin Tina, with Dato' Anusha as the Charter Secretary.
The first fund raising dinner organised by SIPJ in 1994 was a glamorous evening, graced by the then Prime Minister's wife, Y.A.Bhg. Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali. The momentous event raised around RM50,000 which allowed the club to start its community services with donations to Universiti Hospital and Rumah Faith. Long term projects such as the Kampung Ku initiative has spanned a decade and are exemplary of SIPJ's
commitment to long term solutions and partnerships with the less fortunate.
SIPJ has grown since 1994 - members have joined, left or moved away but the
undaunting Soroptimisit spirit lives on and is continuously championed by its presidents; past, present and future.

President’s Message
Dear Friends,
SIPJ and the community service work it carries out based on the SI objectives appealed to me tremendously and I have greatly enjoyed taking part in our various projects since I joined.
Working with this dedicated and sincere team of professional women to help others less fortunate than ourselves is an honour and a privilege.
I am very happy and grateful to have the support of my committee, especially President-Elect, Ooi Geok Ling and Immediate Past President, Kim Fong. I have seen with my own eyes how Kim Fong has worked tirelessly for the benefit of others and am inspired to follow in her footsteps though it will be a hard act to follow!
I look forward to all the exciting projects we have ahead - please join us if you can!
Yours in Soroptimism,
Sharon Saw
