The story of Usop Sontorian was about the village life of Usop and his friends such as Abu, Dol, Ah Kim, Vellu and Singh in Kampung Parit Sonto, not far from the town of Ayer Hitam, Johor; hence the name "Sontorian" came from. The main message of the series was basically to promote unity and harmonious relationships between all races in Malaysia.
