Book reading culture wanes with rise of technology sunpix
PETALING JAYA: There is an assumption that the reading culture is already lost in Malaysia, but the reality is quite the opposite.
Malaysians continue to read a lot, but rather than paperbacks and hard covers, they are now gripped by what they get on social media.
“Just take the train in Kuala Lumpur or the suburban areas and you will see commuters glued to their smartphones, reading everything from news to social media feeds,” assistant professor Dr Thanaseelen Rajasakran said.
Sadly, the same cannot be said for the book reading culture. A 2019 study by the International Islamic University and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia revealed that overall, Malaysians do not read books very much.
