The Ministry of Higher Education (KPT) announced that qualifying students can access and claim their vouchers through the MySiswaPlace portal, a digital platform operated by Yayasan Perkasa Siswa (YPS).
For the purpose of ensuring students have access to a comprehensive selection of reading materials, MySiswaPlace brings together over 300 registered business partners comprising local publishers and booksellers.
The MySiswaPlace portal serves as a one-stop digital hub, enabling students to check their eligibility, generate vouchers, and conveniently purchase reading materials online. The platform has partnered with over 300 registered booksellers and publishers, offering a wide array of academic books, reference materials, scientific publications, e-books, and general interest titles. This extensive selection aims to support students' learning, research, and intellectual development.
This book voucher initiative is part of the government's ongoing efforts to ease the financial burden of purchasing educational resources and to broaden access to quality knowledge. KPT believes that this program will significantly foster a reading culture among university students, strengthen academic traditions, and cultivate graduates who are knowledgeable, critical thinkers, competitive, and capable of contributing to national development.
This platform offers various categories of reading materials including academic books, reference books, scientific materials, e-books, and general publications that support the learning, research, and intellectual development of students.
The ministry urges all eligible students to claim their vouchers promptly and utilize this facility as a valuable investment in their education and future. The program underscores the government's commitment to enhancing the intellectual capital of the nation's youth.
The government continues this provision through the Madani Book Voucher Initiative 2026 to help alleviate the cost of purchasing reading materials and expand access to quality knowledge sources.
