MPH

Due to unforseen circumstances, this month’s MPH Lit Addicts’ Meet event has been changed to Sun (29 Nov ‘09) instead of Sat (28 Nov).

Man Booker Prize 2009 winner, Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics with a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion and suffering and courage.

Facilitated by S.H. Lim.

29 (Sun) / 11.00am – 12.00pm / MPH Megastore 1 Utama (Book Café)

Use the coupon from MPH’s November 2009 event leaflet for a 20% discount off the book (ISBN: 9780007292417) at MPH Megastore 1 Utama only. Participants will also enjoy a complimentary cup of flavoured tea during the event at the Book Cafe, courtesy of Coffex Coffee Sdn Bhd.

MPH Jimat Book Fair is back! Come visit us at The Waterfront, Desa Parkcity from 27 Nov – 6 Dec ‘09, 10am – 10pm. Click leaflet below for more details.

MPH recently embarked on a charity campaign – Membaca Sambil Beramal, loosely translated to mean reading for a good cause. On Tuesday, MPH presented the funds totalling RM40,500 to nine homes for underprivileged children, whereby each home received RM4,500.  

Membaca Sambil Beramal saw MPH produced Mutiara Minda cards. Each of these cards were then sold for RM10 and entitled the card holder to enjoy discounts on all books including bestsellers from the Mutiara Minda section, a section that is dedicated to promoting the works of local authors in our national language. Due to the encouraging response, MPH is looking at making this an annual project. Other plan to further promote Bahasa Malaysia literature was unveiled later in the form of the Mutiara Minda Magazine by the 10th Malaysian National Laureate, Dato’ Dr. Anwar Ridhwan.
