He was speaking at the Opening Ceremony of the Knowledge-Acquiring Programme and Community Service 2015 at the Sandakan Community Hall, recently. His text was read by the Deputy President of MPS, Haji Mohd Hamsan Awang Supain.

He added, as a follower of knowledge-based books, a discussion focusing on books provided visitors an opportunity to share their experiences and ideas as well as participated in a book review session.

“This is to answer our government’s call to cultivate the reading habit among the community,” he said.

The five-day programme which began on 27 March until 31 March among others also aimed to promote the culture of reading among students and community, increasing awareness on the importance of seeking knowledge without limits and boundaries.

Also included in the programme was a career-guidance talk and education opportunities in the public and private universities, health talks and blood donation programme with HDOK. – MA (fl)
