At Sasbadi, our central focus is on creating exceptional educational content. We engage exhaustively with experienced writers and teachers for our academic publications, striving to provide top-notch content that supports the academic journey of primary and secondary school students in Malaysia.
Beyond academic publications, our content caters to diverse interests and age groups. For children, our supplementary materials encompass a rich variety, including fiction and non-fiction titles, comics, illustrated storybooks, and globally recognized works by award-winning authors. Similarly, in the realm of adult literature, we contribute to the local literary scene by publishing novels, short stories, poems, biographies, and young adult literature by Malaysian writers.
Our pride lies in the adaptability of our content, shaped over the years to meet evolving educational needs, including the production of digital education solutions and technology-enabled blended learning products.
Print Publishing of Academic Content
Sasbadi publishes a variety of educational products which cater to the needs of Early Childhood Education in Malaysia. We have a wide range of products that are suitable for childcare centres, nurseries, and preschools. Our coursebooks and activity books for preschools are written in line with the National Preschool Standard-based Curriculum provided by the Ministry of Education, Malaysia. Importantly, Sasbadi actively works on integrating multimedia technology into our Early Childhood Education products. This is because we believe technology, such as Augmented Reality, can have a huge impact on a child's learning process, especially when used in the right manner. Our Early Childhood Education products are mainly published under the Sasbadi Sdn. Bhd., United Publishing House Sdn. Bhd., Penerbitan Daya Sdn. Bhd. and Orbit Buku Sdn. Bhd. imprints.

Past Year Examination Papers
In 2010, Sasbadi was appointed by YGMB to reprint, distribute, market and sell past year examination papers for SPM and STAM. Subsequently, over the years, Sasbadi was awarded the licence by YGMB to reprint, distribute, market and sell past year examination papers for UPSR, PMR, STAM and SPM. However, the licence was not renewed upon its expiry on 14 September 2013 and we have ceased reprinting, distributing, marketing and selling the past year examination papers with effect from 15 September 2013. YGMB is the licence holder for the reprinting, distribution, marketing and sales of Malaysia's past year examination papers including UPSR, PMR, STAM and SPM.
During the period when we were licensed by YGMB to publish the past year examination papers, we were mainly involved in publishing past year examination papers of the following subjects for UPSR, PMR and SPM preparations:
- Chinese, English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mathematics and Science for UPSR, PMR and SPM;
- Geography, History and Islamic Studies for PMR and SPM;
- Communicative Arabic Language, Living Skills: Commerce and Entrepreneurship, Living Skills: Home Economics and Living Skills: Technical Skills for PMR; and
- Additional Mathematics, Basic Economics, Biology, Chemistry, Commerce, Islamic Concepts, Islamic Law Education, Physics, Principles of Accounting, and Quran and Sunnah Education for SPM.
We only published past year examination papers for STAM on a small scale basis as STAM is only undertaken by a small group of students.
We have our own sales and marketing team to promote our non-prescribed National School Curriculum based educational materials including revision guides, assessment books, model test papers and readers to teachers in schools who will in turn recommend to their students.
As for workbooks, our sales and marketing team would promote them to school authorities for their evaluation and possible selection as classroom and study materials. Selected publications are then listed in the respective schools' booklists.
Our non-prescribed National School Curriculum based educational materials are compatible with the syllabuses outlined in the National School Curriculum. Our collections of non-prescribed National School Curriculum based educational materials are available via our dealers and outlets including retail bookstores and school bookshops. In addition, we also distribute these educational materials to wholesalers and third party publishers and schools on a small scale basis.
Our prescribed National School Curriculum based educational materials, namely textbooks are sold mainly to the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education provides free loan books to all students in government, government-assisted and Islamic schools under the Textbooks Loan Scheme (Skim Pinjaman Buku Teks). However, textbooks are also sold to any students who wish to purchase them and to students of independent and private schools who are not covered by the said scheme.
Aside from primary and secondary schools, Sasbadi also publishes textbooks and other titles for Form Six students and Malaysian University English Test (MUET) candidates. In addition, Sasbadi also produces titles and materials designed specifically for trainee-teachers at the Institute Perguruan Guru (IPG). This range of materials is published under the Sasbadi Sdn. Bhd. brand.
