If there’s ever been a perfect time for Malaysian book lovers to stock up on fresh reads, it’s right now. MPH Bookstores, a name deeply familiar to generations of readers across Malaysia, is offering something truly delightful for August 2025 — their “Gotta Have It!” member-exclusive promotion. From 1 to 31 August 2025, readers can enjoy 20% off on selected titles both in physical outlets and on mphonline.com.
Let’s talk about why this isn’t just another bookstore promotion. MPH has always had a solid reputation for curating a wide selection of books — ranging from international bestsellers to Malaysian literary gems. This August, they are making reading more accessible and affordable, especially for those who are part of their membership programme. And if someone isn’t a member yet? This might just be the best reason to consider signing up.
Why Should They Take Advantage of This Deal?
Let’s face it — book prices can add up quickly, especially if someone is trying to build a home library, buy gifts, or simply keep up with their monthly reading goals. A 20% discount might sound modest on the surface, but when applied across multiple titles, it results in significant savings. Whether it’s a novel that’s been sitting on their wishlist or a non-fiction title they’ve been meaning to explore, now is the time to finally grab those reads.
What makes this deal even more appealing is that it includes a curated list of bestselling fiction and inspiring non-fiction. It’s not just old stock being cleared out. These are books that people have likely seen recommended by peers, talked about on bookstagram, or covered in media reviews. Think gripping thrillers, award-winning biographies, self-help titles that actually work, or even books that help one upskill professionally or improve mental wellness.
Moreover, MPH doesn’t limit this promotion to just one outlet or state. Whether someone’s in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor, or even shopping from the comfort of their home, this deal is accessible nationwide. The same goes for mphonline.com, which has been a trusted online destination for readers who prefer digital browsing or doorstep delivery. And yes, the promotion applies there too — making it incredibly convenient for anyone, anywhere in Malaysia.
A Quick Word on Membership
One might wonder — what’s the catch? Do they need to jump through hoops to enjoy this offer? Fortunately, MPH’s membership programme is quite straightforward. Signing up is typically easy, either in-store or online. And members regularly enjoy privileges such as birthday discounts, early access to sales, and invitations to exclusive events. In the case of this particular promotion, members simply need to present their valid membership at checkout or log in to their account when purchasing online.
The value of the membership pays off quickly, especially for those who buy books frequently. Plus, it’s a great way to stay updated on future deals, launches, and events. Think of it as a small step toward building a more enriching and affordable reading habit.
Books Worth Checking Out
While the specific list of discounted titles might vary by outlet and change throughout the month, one can expect to find:
-
Bestselling fiction such as thrillers, romance, and literary novels
-
Inspiring autobiographies and memoirs
-
Practical self-help and motivational books
-
Children’s educational and story books
-
Business, finance, and personal development titles
It’s a great chance to discover new authors or revisit beloved classics. Families with school-going children can also benefit — back-to-school season is always a good time to stock up on useful learning resources, workbooks, or even bedtime stories.
Why MPH Bookstores?
MPH isn’t just any bookstore. It has been part of Malaysia’s retail and literary history for decades. Stepping into any MPH outlet is often an experience in itself. From carefully arranged displays to helpful staff recommendations, the atmosphere encourages exploration and learning.
They’ve also made commendable efforts to support Malaysian writers and publishers, giving local literature a platform alongside international giants. Whether someone is looking to explore regional history, Malaysian cookbooks, or works by local poets and fiction writers, MPH often provides shelves filled with such gems.
And for those who prefer to shop online, the MPH Online Store is user-friendly and offers fast, reliable delivery. There’s even an option to have books gift-wrapped — ideal for birthdays or festive seasons.
T&C to Keep in Mind
Of course, like any promotion, terms and conditions apply. The discount is only available to active MPH members, and only selected titles are part of the offer. It’s always a good idea to ask staff for the eligible titles in-store or check the MPH website where many of the books under promotion will likely be tagged accordingly.
Also, while stock lasts — so if there’s a specific title someone has been eyeing, best to head to their nearest MPH outlet or log in online before it runs out.
Make August a Month for Reading
This promotion is a great reminder of the simple joy of picking up a new book. Whether it’s to unwind after a long day, expand knowledge, or simply escape into a different world, reading offers countless benefits. With this promotion, MPH is encouraging everyone — from casual readers to bibliophiles — to make reading a habit, or perhaps rediscover it altogether.
If anyone is looking for a sign to buy that book they’ve been thinking about — this is it.
