MPH Bookstores

MPH Bookstores is a well-established chain of bookstores. It retails books, magazines, stationery, gifts and greeting cards. The chain has three outlets located in the city areas – Raffles City Shopping Centre, Parkway Parade and Robinson Road, all of which cater to the office crowd and the surrounding vicinity. On 20 December 2002, MPH Bookstores (S) Pte Ltd was bought over by a Malaysian company, Jalinan Inspirasi Sdn Bhd, which is part of a large Malaysian conglomerate controlled by Malaysian businessman Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary. Jalinan Inspirasi changed its name to MPH Group (M) Sdn Bhd to reflect its core businesses and it now owns MPH Bookstores (Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia), MPH Distributors (Malaysia and Singapore) and MPH Library Services (Singapore).
