WITH hopes of turning Simpang Renggam, a town in Kluang, into a reading constituency, its MP has launched a campaign to get students interested in reading from a young age.

Dr Maszlee Malik started a “Simpang Membaca” project following the first movement control order last year, upon realising that there was inadequate initiative to make reading a way of life among Malaysians during that period.
