About Us

    We have been publishing for well over 50 years which is nearly as long as Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka.Whereas Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka specializes in Bahasa Malaysia books, we specialize in English Language books especially in the teaching of English as a second and third language.

   Heading our team of English writers and editors is Prof. J.B. Alter, a graduate of Harvard as well as the University of Michigan with M.A. in Linguistics. He has taught English for over 25 years particularly in East Asia. His approach in teaching English is based on the latest pedagogical methods.
