MPH Bookstores, Malaysia’s beloved bookstore chain and a trailblazer in the book retail industry, has officially reopened its doors in Alamanda Shopping Centre. The newly launched store marks MPH’s 10th outlet in the country and highlights the brand’s continued commitment to promoting reading, education, and a love for literature.
The grand opening of MPH Alamanda was officiated by Yang Berhormat Fadhlina Sidek, the Minister of Education, alongside Tuan Haji Ezaiddin Hussain, the Director of Education for Putrajaya, and Martin Cross, the CEO of MPH Bookstores. The event drew an enthusiastic crowd of book lovers, MPH MRewards members, local publishers, and educators, as well as students from Putrajaya’s primary schools, all eager to experience the revitalized store.
This reopening is not just a return to a familiar location—it marks a significant milestone for MPH Bookstores as it rolls out its new store design concept. The 5,000 sq ft space at Alamanda is a contemporary, stylish reflection of MPH’s modern vision for the future. The design, first unveiled at the flagship store in The Exchange TRX, features clean lines, natural blond wood, and elegant bronze accents. This vibrant and welcoming atmosphere is crafted to provide an inspiring space for all visitors—whether they are casual browsers, avid readers, or families looking for books and gifts.
The newly designed MPH Alamanda store caters to readers of all ages, with a diverse selection of books, stationery, educational toys, and gifts. A highlight is the children’s section, which offers a range of books that will nurture creativity, curiosity, and a love for reading among young readers. The space is designed to ignite young imaginations, offering everything from storybook classics to interactive learning books, ensuring children have access to books that engage and entertain.
For older readers, the store carries a vast selection of fiction and non-fiction, including local and international titles in both Malay and English. Whether you’re interested in business and management, self-help, biographies, history, Islamic reference books, or cooking, the selection caters to a broad spectrum of tastes and interests. Malay novels and children’s books are also a focal point, celebrating local authors and content.
In addition to books, the store boasts a variety of gifts, stationery, and educational toys—perfect for those looking to find unique presents or enhance their own learning environment. Items from the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia are also available, allowing visitors to take home pieces of culture and history.
This reopening marks a major step in the renaissance of MPH Bookstores, following the successful launch of its flagship store in The Exchange TRX earlier this year. With the expansion of its physical retail footprint, this Bookstores is reinvigorating its legacy and moving forward with its mission to become Malaysia’s leading bookstore chain once again.
In his speech at the event, CEO Martin Cross expressed his excitement about the return to Alamanda. “We are thrilled to be back in this location, which holds a special place for us, especially after the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re reopening here better than ever, with a fresh and inspiring space designed to engage and inspire our loyal customers in Putrajaya and beyond,” Cross said.
He added that MPH’s focus on local books and publishers is part of the brand’s continued commitment to celebrating Malaysian writers and promoting the vibrant local publishing industry. “We are proud to support the dynamic and growing local publishing sector, and our customers will find an even wider range of locally-produced books here at MPH Alamanda.”
