Mydin Mohamed Holdings Berhad

As the Managing Director of MYDIN says, ‘Why pay more? Buy at wholesale prices!’. The core value that has permeated throughout all the business decisions and operations of the current local giant.

It has embraced the concept of Halal products without isolating anyone from different communities. 

To stand out even more, MYDIN has viewed human resources as an asset rather than a tool. “The employees are important as they are the eyes and ears for the company. They will tell you what the customers’ complaints are.” Are words spoken by the managing director and that is echoed throughout all the outlets of MYDIN. They bring a positive impact not just to their customers, but to their internal staff and even the underprivileged communities.
