reading books, forever and ever...(^_^)

Hello everybody...SIGH..As usual,I am among the first people to comment, which can't be a good thing because it makes it hard for me to actually comment on others' views (which is more fun because you got to debate with other people).But never mind, I'll start off with my opinions.
First thing,I agree that Malaysians DO NOT take reading as their daily habits (which I think must be a crime in other parts of the world.)I think the main factor that leads to this scenario is that Malaysians are not nurtured with reading habits since they are babies.Yes,and I do really mean babies.
Children nowadays are rarely tends to read book whenever they have time to spend. they are actually tends to use the time in more interesting activity by looking for entertainment like watching televisions, hanging around with friends and so on.Parents play a big role in the job of encouraging their children to develop interest of reading. They have to be wise in the way how they want to do it. One of the usual example is bringing the children regularly to the public library. Children tend to follow what the elderly doings, so we as an adult have to show our interest in reading habits. Like the US, the government had launched on the campaign 'children see, children do'(or something like that ).
Last but not least, I hope that the Malaysians including me would change their reading habit by makes a reading as one of their hobbies and also that the parents will develop the reading habits among their children from the earliest stage. Thank you.
