In August 2019, the Group launched its online sales platform, which focuses on selling its own branded frames to customers in Malaysia.

Risk Factors
According to Ipsos, the popularity of online shopping in Malaysia has increased in recent years. Since the Group mainly relies on the revenue generated by its retail stores, it may not be able to attract new retail customers who prefer online shopping or existing retail customers who choose to buy online, which has a significant adverse impact on the Group's business development and operating performance.
