While I'm not playing any instruments, working my life away, or transforming my Optimus Prime, I usually take some time off to do some reading. And of course, a lot of my reading time is spent on the LRT too.
Did you know, as of July 2008:
- In 1984, Malaysians only read half a page a year.
- In 1996, Malaysians only read 2 books a year.
- In 2005, Malaysians still only read 2 books a year.
- Only 13 per cent of 27 million Malaysians read books.
Amazing statistics. :|
So, an event called RWP (Read while Waiting Project) was held on the 23rd of August. Basically, everyone will gather at a same place, then start reading at the stroke of 3pm. Any reading material will do - From novels to comics to newspapers.
Here's some pics from the event. Not that many though - I was busy reading!
Turnout wasn't too bad, although I expected more.
To more reading in our country! |
