Mydin Mohamed Holdings Berhad, Lot 675 & 676 Persiaran Subang Permai, USJ 1, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan. Mydin Care Line Centre: 1300-30-8786Website: http://www.mydin.com.my/

The history of Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd’s establishment can be traces way back before independence at the time when the late Mr. Gulam Husen Jamal, owned a shop in Pulau Pinang. During the Japanese Occupation in the second war, the shop was burnt down to the ground and Mr. Gulam lost everything. Nevertheless strong determination, perseverance and faith spurred one of his children, Tuan Mydin Mohamed, to continue the trades of wholesaling. In 1957, he opened his first shop, Syarikat Mydin Mohamed in Jalan Tok Hakim, Kota Bharu, Kelantan selling toys and general merchandise acquired with his own hard-earned money. His hard work was truly rewarded when business slowly prospered.

Two decades after its formation, the company expanded its business to Kuala Terengganu. Despite offering a variety of merchandise at affordable prices, MYDIN remained popular only in the East Coast. The return of Tuan Mydin’s son, Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali in 1989 marked the turning point of Syarikat Mydin Mohamed. He led the opening of the third branch in Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur in a rented 600 sq ft shop lot with a loan of RM100,000 worth of merchandise, consisting of leather goods and products catering to the daily needs of the Muslim community.Initially, the company aimed to cater to the needs of only the Muslim community but Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali had bigger plans for MYDIN, and thus he embarked on an innovative change for the family business. In 1991, the business converted from sole proprietorship to private limited company, and later in 2000 it was officially registered as Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd with Tuan Mydin as the Chairman and all his sons as directors. Being the driving force behind MYDIN, Dato’ Hj. Ameer Ali was then appointed as its Managing Director. Since then, MYDIN has grown steadily at the commendable pace.

With the growth of foreign investments in Malaysia, especially in the retail sector, MYDIN initiated “The Empire Strike Back” strategy. Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali together with the other directors then decided to do the most impossible thing, by opening its first hypermarket next to their competitor in Subang Jaya. After having been rejected by most banks, only one bank was willing to provide financing to MYDIN to expand and this was Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali’s former employer – AmBank. MYDIN was bold enough to compete with foreign retailers because of its conviction that only a local Malaysian company can best supply its Malaysian customers and suppliers, compared to foreign-owned ones. Local Malaysian companies, it believes, can succeed as long as it makes the right plans and right decisions.

After the success of MYDIN Hypermarket in Subang Jaya, MYDIN took a bold step by opening three more hypermarkets in Kuala Terengganu, Ayer Keroh, Melaka and Kubang Kerian, Kelantan. On 14 January 2011, a new hypermarket was opened in Bukit Jambul, Pulau Pinang. Apart from hypermarket and emporiums, MYDIN has also ventured into other business entities such as mini markets, convenience stores and franchises. Though it has expanded greatly, MYDIN does not neglect the small traders and wholesalers. With the introduction of Meriah Card Loyalty Program, wholesalers who part of this program are able to make bulk purchases at wholesale rates. MYDIN’s vision is to be the World’s leading distributor of competitive Halal goods and services in Malaysia. To this date, MYDIN operates more than 70 outlets nationwide and is still continuing to grow. As a Muslim wholesaler retailer, MYDIN stresses in honesty in business and practices the Halal concept in all its businesses. With many expansion programs in the pipe-line, MYDIN aims at becoming the leading local hypermarket with good business practices so as to be on par with other internationally-owned hypermarkets and thus, make Malaysia proud. “Only a home-grown company knows the needs and wants of Malaysians. We are Born Malaysian, Still Malaysian!”

MYDIN as well as Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali, has won numerous accolades for their achievements including Masterclass CEO of the Year 2009, Winner of Brand Laureate’s SME’s Brand Personality Award 2009, Retail-Chain Sector 2010 by Kuala Lumpur Chamber of Commerce and GOPIO International Renown Entrepreneur Excellence Award 2010
