History
The Legacy of MYDIN actually began way back in 1918 by Mr Gulam Husen Jamal, father to Mr Mydin. During the Japanese Occupation in the Second World War, their shop in Penang was burnt down to the ground & they lost everything. But strong determination, perseverance & faith has made one of his children, namely Mr Mydin Mohamed, to continue the trades of wholesaling. In 1957, he opened his first shop Syarikat Mydin Mohamed in Jalan Tok Hakim, Kota Bharu, Kelantan; by selling toys & also general merchandise with his own hard-earned money. With the help of his immediate sons, the business spreads its operations to Kuala Terengganu in 1979 & later made their presences in Klang Valley at Jalan Masjid India in 1989.
