Few days ago I took time out to attend the launch of MYDIN 60th Anniversary. I got know more about MYDIN on that day. Who would have imagined? The implication of World War 2 sufferings, fire incident at the first wooden shop, the struggle to get the loan for the first hypermarket, these are all complied to nostalgic memories of MYDIN throughout 60years of its journey. Malaysians witnesses the watching the Launching Ceremony MYDIN's 60th Anniversary, #MYDIN60Tahun which will be held with full of joy, proud as bless.

The choronological story of MYDIN's business journey after post-World War II started with a wooden shop opened in Kota Bharu, Kelantan in 1957. After two decades, MYDIN's second shop was opened in Kuala Terengganu in 1979, and in 1987, MYDIN's third shop was opened in Jalan Masjid India. 2006 marked a tremendous year for MYDIN as it continued to grow the empire after the opening of the first hypermarket at USJ, Subang Jaya, Selangor Standing strong, MYDIN now has 322 branches in 10 different business formats.
