MPH Bookstores, a leading name in Malaysia’s literary scene, has officially opened its 10th outlet at the Alamanda Shopping Centre in Putrajaya. This exciting new store marks a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing expansion, reaffirming its commitment to bringing the joy of reading to communities across the nation.
The grand opening event of MPH Alamanda, which was attended by key figures including Yang Berhormat Fadhlina Sidek, the Minister of Education, and Putrajaya’s Director of Education Tuan Haji Ezaiddin Hussain, saw a large turnout of local book lovers, educators, students, and industry partners. The event also featured a special gift presentation to students from Putrajaya’s primary schools, emphasizing MPH’s role in fostering a love for learning among the younger generation.
The new bookstore at Alamanda spans 5,000 square feet and features the fresh, contemporary design that debuted at MPH’s flagship store at The Exchange TRX. This design blends natural blonde wood, bronze accents, and open spaces, creating a welcoming atmosphere for book lovers of all ages. With a broad selection of books, educational toys, games, gifts, and stationery, the store is poised to become a vibrant destination for readers in the region.
MPH Alamanda caters to a diverse range of interests, with dedicated sections for children, English and Malay fiction, non-fiction, and educational materials. The children’s section, in particular, promises to be a highlight, offering an array of picture books, junior readers, activity books, and manga, designed to nurture young minds and encourage creative exploration.
In his speech, CEO Martin Cross expressed his excitement about returning to Alamanda after the pandemic hiatus, stating, “We’re thrilled to be back, better and bolder than before. We committed to serving our customers in Putrajaya and beyond with the best books, educational toys, gifts, and stationery.” He further emphasized that the launch of the Alamanda store is part of MPH’s larger strategy to rejuvenate the brand, following the success of their flagship store in TRX, and to solidify their position as Malaysia’s leading bookstore chain.
A key focus for this bookstore at Alamanda is supporting local publishing, which plays a crucial role in Malaysia’s book industry. The store showcases a wide array of Malaysian-authored books in both Malay and English, spanning genres such as business, history, finance, health, and Islamic studies, reflecting the vibrant literary landscape of the nation.
