Te history o Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd’s establishment can be traces way back be ore independenceat the time when the late Mr. Gulam Husen Jamal, owned a shop in Pulau Pinang. During the Japanese Occupationin the second war, the shop was burnt down to the ground and Mr. Gulam lost everything. Nevertheless strongdetermination, perseverance and aith spurred one o his children, uan Mydin Mohamed, to continue thetrades o wholesaling. In 1957, he opened his rst shop, Syarikat Mydin Mohamed in Jalan ok Hakim, KotaBharu, Kelantan selling toys and general merchandise acquired with his own hard-earned money. His hardwork was truly rewarded when business slowly prospered.

wo decades afer its ormation, the company expanded its business to Kuala erengganu. Despite offeringa variety o merchandise at affordable prices, MYDIN remained popular only in the East Coast. Te returno uan Mydin’s son, Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali in 1989 marked the turning point o Syarikat Mydin Mohamed. Heled the opening o the third branch in Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur in a rented 600 sq f shop lot with aloan o RM100,000 worth o merchandise, consisting o leather goods and products catering to the daily needso the Muslim community.Initially, the company aimed to cater to the needs o only the Muslim communitybut Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali had bigger plans or MYDIN, and thus he embarked on an innovative change or theamily business. In 1991, the business converted rom sole proprietorship to private limited company, and laterin 2000 it was officially registered as Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd with uan Mydin as the Chairman andall his sons as directors.

Dato’ Hj Ameer Ali together with the other directors then decided to do the mostimpossible thing, by opening its rst hypermarket next to their competitor in Subang Jaya. Afer having beenrejected by most banks, only one bank was willing to provide nancing to MYDIN to expand and this wasDato’ Hj Ameer Ali’s ormer employer – AmBank. MYDIN was bold enough to compete with oreign retailersbecause o its conviction that only a local Malaysian company can best supply its Malaysian customers andsuppliers, compared to oreign-owned ones. Local Malaysian companies, it believes, can succeed as long as itmakes the right plans and right decisions.

Afer the success o MYDIN Hypermarket in Subang Jaya, MYDIN took a bold step by openingthree more hypermarkets in Kuala erengganu, Ayer Keroh, Melaka and Kubang Kerian, Kelantan. On 14January 2011, a new hypermarket was opened in Bukit Jambul, Pulau Pinang. Apart rom hypermarket andemporiums, MYDIN has also ventured into other business entities such as mini markets, convenience storesand ranchises. Tough it has expanded greatly, MYDIN does not neglect the small traders and wholesalers.
