Book lovers in Kuching have a good reason to make a trip to AEON Mall Kuching Central this August. POPULAR Malaysia is bringing its POPULAR Bookfair to the shopping centre from 11 to 23 August 2026, giving shoppers a chance to browse a selection of books while enjoying several special offers throughout the event.
Held at the Ground Floor, Center Court of AEON Mall Kuching Central, this bookfair could be worth checking out for anyone who enjoys reading, parents looking for something interesting for their children, students preparing for the next semester, or simply shoppers who like picking up a good book when there is a bargain involved.
Rather than waiting for a particular book to appear on the usual shopping list, visitors can take their time browsing the bookfair and see what catches their attention. With selected English and Malay books offering a 20% rebate when buying two or more, selected Chinese books available from as low as RM5 nett, and an additional RM5 promotion voucher with a minimum spend of RM50 nett, there are several ways for shoppers to make their spending go further.
The POPULAR Bookfair will run for almost two weeks, from 11 to 23 August 2026, so visitors have some flexibility when planning their visit.
Find selected English and Malay books with a 20% rebate
One of the highlights of this POPULAR Bookfair is the 20% rebate available on selected English and Malay books when shoppers purchase two or more.
For regular readers, this is the sort of offer that can make buying multiple books more appealing. Instead of choosing just one title, shoppers can look around for a second book that interests them and potentially enjoy the rebate on the selected titles.
It could also be a useful opportunity for families. Parents who are already planning to buy reading materials for their children may find it more worthwhile to browse together, particularly if there are several suitable books available.
The key point to remember is that the rebate applies to selected books and requires a purchase of two or more, so shoppers should check the applicable terms and conditions at the bookfair before making their final selection.
Selected Chinese books from as low as RM5 nett
Another reason bargain hunters may want to visit is the selection of Chinese books priced from as low as RM5 nett.
For readers who enjoy Chinese-language books, finding titles at this sort of price can make browsing the bookfair even more interesting. Even if visitors do not arrive with a particular title in mind, a RM5 starting price gives them an opportunity to explore and perhaps discover something unexpected without having to spend a large amount.
This can also be a good chance for parents to look for additional reading materials for children or for anyone who simply enjoys collecting books across different languages.
As the RM5 price applies to selected Chinese books, it is worth checking which titles are included in the offer during the visit.
Spend RM50 nett and get a RM5 promotion voucher
There is another offer for shoppers who are planning a slightly larger book purchase. Customers who meet a minimum spend of RM50 nett can receive a RM5 promotion voucher.
For anyone already planning to pick up several books, this could add another little saving to the shopping trip. It may be especially useful for families, students or regular readers who are likely to spend RM50 or more while browsing the available selections.
Shoppers should take note that the voucher comes with its own promotional conditions, so checking the terms and conditions before making a purchase is recommended.
POPULAR Card and e-Card members have something extra
The bookfair is not only about discounted books. Visitors can also take advantage of a special offer when applying for or renewing a POPULAR Card or e-Card.
A free exclusive gift is available with a POPULAR Card or e-Card application or renewal, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.
For shoppers who regularly buy books and other products from POPULAR, this may be a convenient opportunity to look into the membership while visiting the bookfair. Rather than making a separate trip, visitors can check whether the card or e-Card is suitable for them while they are already at the event.
Those interested should check with the POPULAR team at the bookfair for the latest membership and gift redemption requirements.
Bring the children along for a fun bookfair visit
A bookfair does not necessarily have to be a quick shopping trip, especially when children are involved.
POPULAR has also highlighted exciting activities for little ones during the event, with walk-in participation available. This gives families another reason to include the bookfair in their plans during the school holiday period or simply as a weekend outing.
Parents can browse the books while their children take part in the available creative activities. Since participation is offered on a walk-in basis, families can check out the activities when they arrive rather than having to make a complicated arrangement beforehand.
The actual activities and availability may vary, so visitors should check with the organisers at the venue for the latest information.
Why should bargain hunters visit this POPULAR Bookfair?
There are plenty of reasons to consider dropping by the POPULAR Bookfair at AEON Mall Kuching Central.
First, the event brings several different offers together in one location. Shoppers can look for selected English and Malay books with a 20% rebate when buying two or more, browse selected Chinese books from RM5 nett, and potentially receive a RM5 promotion voucher after spending at least RM50 nett.
Secondly, the event is running from 11 to 23 August 2026 rather than for just a single day. That gives visitors more opportunities to fit the bookfair into their schedules. Anyone who is busy during the weekdays can consider visiting on a weekend, while those who prefer a quieter shopping trip may choose another day during the promotional period.
Thirdly, it is taking place inside AEON Mall Kuching Central, making it relatively easy to combine the bookfair with other errands or shopping plans. Visitors can make the most of their trip to the mall by stopping at the bookfair before or after their other activities.
Most importantly, the promotion is a good reminder that buying books does not always have to be expensive. With selected titles available at lower prices and additional rewards for qualifying purchases, readers have a chance to discover new material while keeping an eye on their budget.
For families, the children’s activities add another reason to visit. For serious readers, the book selection is the main attraction. And for bargain hunters, the combination of rebates, low-priced selected books and vouchers makes the event worth putting on the shopping list.
Plan a visit before the bookfair ends
The POPULAR Bookfair at AEON Mall Kuching Central is scheduled from 11 to 23 August 2026, so interested shoppers should plan their visit before the promotion ends.
It is worth remembering that the offers apply to selected items and that terms and conditions apply. Stock and promotional gifts may also be subject to availability, so shoppers who have their eye on particular books or promotional benefits may prefer to visit earlier rather than leaving everything until the final day.
