At Sasbadi, we concentrate on creating quality educational content. We have dedicated ourselves to doing this since our inception more than 30 years ago.
In the beginning, we focused on producing learning materials for students of Malaysia's national primary and secondary schools, including textbooks, reference books, workbooks, test papers and various other educational aids. Through commissioning only seasoned writers and expert teachers to contribute to our publications, we managed to develop Sasbadi into a brand trusted by students, teachers, and parents.
Today, the company has evolved into being a comprehensive content provider, creating content that fulfils a wide range of educational needs. We are constantly innovating and developing new ways to engage our readers, to accompany them on their exploration of education and to cultivate in them the love for learning. Going into the 21st century, Sasbadi now produces content that is accessible in the conventional print form, blended/hybrid form (application-enabled printed materials) and 100% digital solutions.
We will continue on this path and ensure that creative content creation is our key focus. Our true value lies in the quality of the content we provide. We believe in it, and we believe it will provide students the support they need in their pursuit of excellence.
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.

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:
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.
