Pustaka Nasional Pte Ltd

Pustaka Nasional started out as a bookshop in the early 1960s and began publishing Islamic books in Malay and Arabic in 1963. By the 1980s, Pustaka Nasional’s publishing range included children’s fiction, novels for general readership and textbooks for madrasahs. Among the authors are notable writers who contributed to the growth of the Malay literary and cultural scenes, as well as to the development of the Malay community’s sociopolitical awareness. Currently, in addition to its translation and book distribution activities, Pustaka Nasional is focused on publishing children’s books with an Asian setting, that entertain, educate and spark further discovery, through multiple platforms (print books, ebooks and audiobooks), as well as advocating for Singapore Malay publications.
