Optic King opened on April 15, Saturday, with an official launch ceremony officiated by the guest of honour, Muhammad Jamari bin Dangat, who is the President of the Brunei Darussalam National Association of the Blind (BDNAB). After a welcoming speech by the director of Optic King, Chua Yushi, she presented a donation box that would be placed at the boutique’s counter to collect donations for the visually impaired, to the guest of honour and they proceeded to cut the ribbon together to symbolise the opening of the boutique.
