Setback for reading initiative


THIS year is the start of our National Reading Decade (Dekad Membaca Kebangsaan) 2021-2030, a programme aimed at transforming Malaysia into a reading nation by 2030. Its long-haul target is to achieve 25% active readership among Malaysians.

In this contemporary and fast-paced life with so many pursuits competing for our time and attention, why should we read? In school, we were told by our teachers that we should read to increase knowledge and make better use of our free time.
