Book lovers in Kota Kinabalu have another good reason to visit the Sabah International Convention Centre this September, especially if picking up new books while enjoying special savings sounds like a great way to spend the day. POPULAR will be taking part in Pesta Buku Antarabangsa Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, with a dedicated booth offering several promotions for visitors from 23 to 27 September 2026.
If you have been waiting for an opportunity to refresh your bookshelf, look for something new to read, or simply enjoy the atmosphere of a book fair, this could be a worthwhile event to add to your plans. POPULAR will be located at Booth 70-75 in Kinabatangan Exhibition Hall 2, Level 2, giving visitors a chance to browse books and selected promotional items while taking advantage of event-only offers.
One of the highlights is a 20% rebate on selected English and Malay books. For regular readers, a rebate like this can make it easier to pick up more than one title without stretching the budget too much. Whether you enjoy novels, non-fiction, educational books or titles for the family, this is a good opportunity to browse through the available selection and see what catches your attention.
The POPULAR promotion is not limited to books, either. Visitors who meet the required spending condition can also enjoy savings on selected PWP items.
Enjoy Up to 60% Rebate on PWP Items
Another interesting part of the promotion is the opportunity to enjoy up to 60% rebate on selected PWP items when shoppers make a minimum nett purchase of RM60 and above.
PWP, or Purchase With Purchase, promotions can be particularly useful when there is already something you planned to buy. Instead of simply purchasing your books and heading home, reaching the required RM60 nett spend may give you the opportunity to pick up selected promotional items at a much lower price.
Of course, the exact items and applicable terms may vary, so it is worth checking the promotion details at the POPULAR booth before making a purchase. If you are already planning to spend RM60 or more on books and other eligible products, take a moment to see what PWP offers are available during the event.
This is also a good reason to plan your purchases before visiting. Make a rough list of the books you have been looking for, consider your budget and then see whether the available promotions can help you get more value from your spending.
A Good Chance to Build Up Your Bookshelf
There is something enjoyable about browsing books in person that online shopping does not always provide. At a book fair, you can take your time looking through different titles, discover books you may not have searched for online and compare different options before deciding what to bring home.
For parents, the event can also be a useful opportunity to look for books for children and teenagers. Students can browse educational and reference titles, while regular readers can explore fiction and other general-interest books.
The 20% rebate on English and Malay books makes the POPULAR booth worth checking if you already have several titles on your reading list. Even if you do not have a particular book in mind, a visit to the booth could turn into a chance discovery.
Book fairs are also about more than simply buying books. They bring readers, publishers, sellers and book enthusiasts together in one place, creating a lively environment for people who enjoy reading and learning.
Remember the POPULAR Card and e-Card Offer
There is another promotion that existing and new POPULAR members may want to look out for.
During the event, visitors can receive a free exclusive gift with an application or renewal of a POPULAR Card or e-Card, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.
If you have been considering becoming a POPULAR member, or if your existing membership is due for renewal, the book fair could be a convenient time to take care of it while also browsing the promotional offers.
The free gift is subject to the promotion’s terms and conditions, so visitors should check the requirements and availability directly at the POPULAR booth. As with many event promotions, it is sensible to check the details before completing the application or renewal.
Why Should You Visit This POPULAR Promotion?
There are several reasons this event could be worth a visit, particularly for anyone who already enjoys buying books.
First, the 20% rebate on English and Malay books provides an opportunity to save when purchasing selected titles. If you have been putting off buying a few books because you wanted to wait for a suitable promotion, this may be the right occasion to take another look.
Secondly, shoppers who spend RM60 nett and above can explore selected PWP items with rebates of up to 60%. This can add extra value to a planned purchase, particularly for visitors who find something useful among the eligible promotional products.
Thirdly, those who apply for or renew a POPULAR Card or e-Card may receive a free exclusive gift, subject to the stated terms and conditions.
Most importantly, the promotion takes place as part of Pesta Buku Antarabangsa Kota Kinabalu, making it a chance to combine shopping with a wider book-fair experience. Instead of making a quick trip to a shop, visitors can spend some time exploring the event, browsing different displays and seeing what other book-related activities and exhibitors are available.
Plan Your Visit Before Heading Out
The POPULAR promotion runs for five days, from 23 to 27 September 2026, so visitors have several opportunities to make a trip to the event. The POPULAR booth is located at Booth 70-75, Kinabatangan Exhibition Hall 2, Level 2, Sabah International Convention Centre.
Before making a purchase, remember to check which books qualify for the 20% rebate, which products are included in the PWP offer and the requirements for the POPULAR Card or e-Card gift. The promotion also states that terms and conditions apply.
It is also worth remembering that popular titles and promotional items can attract plenty of interest at a book fair. If you already know what you want, having a list ready can make your visit easier and help you keep track of your spending.
Whether you are an enthusiastic reader, a parent searching for books for the family, a student looking for useful reading materials or simply someone who enjoys discovering new titles, this POPULAR promotion gives you another reason to visit Pesta Buku Antarabangsa Kota Kinabalu.
With book rebates, PWP savings and a membership gift available during the event, 23 to 27 September 2026 could be a good time to make a trip to the Sabah International Convention Centre and see what POPULAR has prepared.
As always, check the applicable terms and conditions at the venue before purchasing or applying for the membership-related offer, as promotions may be subject to eligibility and availability.
