Update on Pukul Habis at Books Kinokuniya

 

Great to see Pukul Habis top the fiction bestseller list yet again at Kinokuniya, Singapore's biggest bookstore, in the lead-up to Singapore Armed Forces Day on 1 July. And this title is sold out in Kino Malaysia! (PH has topped Kino Singapore's list several times since it was stocked in March 2023. Malaysian readers: You can put your name on the Kino KLCC waiting list).

I didn't ask for or expect this video from Kenny Chan, ex-Singapore MFA diplomat, ex-Senior Director, Kinokuniya, Asia Pacific Publishing and book industry veteran. Wonky subtitles aside (!), I love Kenny's take on a book that has become a breakout bestseller. Am delighted to see it alongside titles from seasoned writers backed by established publishing houses.

Thank you dear readers, fans 🙂and my informal network of advisors out there who helped Pukul Habis navigate new and potentially touchy areas. Your expert advice means a lot to me. The book's success is your's too. I am deeply appreciative to you all.
