Established in 2006, BookFest @ Malaysia has evolved into the country's largest trilingual book exposition, earning recognition from the Malaysia Book of Records in 2016. Co-organised with Sin Chew Media Corporation Berhad, this event aligns with POPULAR’s objective of fostering a love for reading among Malaysians from all walks of life. Adding to the excitement, this year also marks the momentous celebration of POPULAR's 100th anniversary.
Held at the prestigious Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), BookFest boasts more than 500 booths featuring leading publishers, books and stationery distributors from across the ASEAN and Asia Pacific regions. Serving as a platform for local and international authors to showcase their works, this annual exposition has grown significantly in its offerings.
Guided by this year’s theme "Gateway to Knowledge,' This theme symbolises the infinite possibilities and endless horizons opened through reading. Just as a gateway offers passage to new realms, reading is a portal to infinite wisdom and discovery. Each book expands our understanding, allowing us to explore uncharted territories of thought and imagination. In this 19th edition of BookFest @ Malaysia, we invite visitors to embrace this perpetual learning journey, where every page turned is a step towards the boundless universe of knowledge. The 19th edition of BookFest spans 100,000 sq ft, offering a diverse array of English, Chinese, and Malay reads, along with stationery, gifts, titbits, text and assessment, CDs and DVDs, gadgets and IT products, as well as electronics and electrical appliances.
