Our Founder's Story
One man’s vision, mission and dedication led to the birth of Johor Cerebral Palsy Association. Datuk Dr. Samuel Clifford Ethermanasingam Abraham (Datuk Dr. S.C.E. Abraham) had the foresight to provide education and services to children and young adults with cerebral palsy.
Datuk Dr. S.C.E. Abraham was a committed social activist all his life, and one of the hallmarks of his career and his life was the additional work he conducted in parallel with his pediatric duties.
After considerable fundraising efforts, his vision became a reality with the opening of Johor Cerebral Palsy Association in 1967.
Over the years, the association has been championed and supported by a stellar list of leaders, organisations, and corporate entities, growing from strength to strength.
