Mini Monsters started off in 2008 as the Education Outreach arm of award-winning TV production house Dua M Pte Ltd. The company aims to revive an interest in the Malay language by offering an interesting and fun approach to the teaching of the language. Its motto “Berhibur dan Belajar” (Entertain and Educate) sums up the company’s philosophy in its approach of developing educational materials, courses and syllabus that are relevant to today’s generation of children. In just six years, Mini Monsters has grown into Mini Monsters Limited and is currently helmed by its Director of Content Development and co-founder Rilla Melati Bahri. In addition to its promotion of active Malay learning in schools in Singapore, Mini Monsters Limited has also expanded into providing bilingual (Malay-English) educational programs and continues to innovate in the field of publication of children’s picture books, production of DVDs, CDs and other educational materials for kids.
