Abstract

Today, I managed to take some time off from my regular teaching duties to visit the Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair (KLIBF) 2025 at the World Trade Centre in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Witnessing the vibrant atmosphere of the book fair, with tens of thousands of people milling around the various sales booths, inspired me to reflect on the importance of cultivating the habit of reading in our lives. What brought me even greater joy was seeing so many children who attend school actively participating in the various events held there. A wide variety of books were put on sale, ranging from academic texts to novels, catering to the diverse interests of readers. Not to mention, the prices were quite reasonable as a way to encourage young people in today’s world to read.
