Bookstore chain MPH is closing its last two outlets in Singapore.
The New Paper (TNP) reported that the company will be closing its Raffles City branch on July 28, 2019 and its Parkway Parade branch on Sept. 1, 2019.
MPH is closing its last two outlets because the rent is too high and the bookstore chain is currently facing intense competition from other online retailers.
This might not be the end of MPH though.

MPH believes that physical bookstores still have relevance in today's day and age.
