==History==
Captain W.G. Shellabear is recognized as the founder of MPH. In 1890, he established the ''Amelia Bishop Press'' in Singapore, publishing Christian literature. The company eventually began publishing secular works as well, changing its name to the ''American Mission Press'' in 1893. In the 1900s, Rev. William T. Cherry expanded the organization's activities to printing, publishing, bookselling, and book distribution. He changed the company's name to ''Methodist Publishing House'' in 1906, giving rise to the acronym 'MPH', as the company is known today.〔
MPH underwent further name changes between the 1920s and 1960s but the acronym remained. The company also changed ownership multiple times, being acquired by an Indonesian consortium in 1966, then a Hong Kong group in 1972 and finally by Singaporean entrepreneur Simon Cheong in 1999. In 2002, Malaysian businessman Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, through Jalinan Inspirasi Sdn Bhd, acquired the company. This was the first time MPH became a wholly Malaysian-owned company.〔
