More than 1.18 million students at institutions of higher learning can begin redeeming their RM100 Madani Book Vouchers from 11am today, through the MySiswaPlace portal, the Higher Education Ministry said in a statement.
Students can check their eligibility, generate their voucher, and redeem it directly through the MySiswaPlace portal.
The platform brings together more than 300 registered business partners, comprising local publishers and booksellers, offering academic books, reference books, scholarly publications, e-books and general publications.
To qualify, students must be Malaysian citizens with active status at an institution under the Ministry of Higher Education, including public universities, polytechnics, community colleges and private higher education institutions, studying at certificate level through to postgraduate or recognised professional courses, whether full-time or part-time.
Eligibility is checked automatically when students register on the MySiswaPlace portal using their identity card and matric numbers. International students are not eligible.
If your voucher doesn’t appear after you’ve registered, MySiswaPlace’s own guidance points to checking with the Student Affairs (HEP) office at your institution first, since eligibility is pulled from each institution’s academic records.
You can also reach MySiswaPlace directly if their record still doesn’t reflect after that.
The ministry said the initiative aims to ease the cost of buying reading materials while expanding access to knowledge resources, stimulating the local book industry and supporting the publishing sector.
This follows a separate RM100 voucher rollout for 2.2 million secondary school students earlier this month, which ran through the BookCapital platform instead.

I always forget to use these things. I wonder if they have an expiration date?
