Reading plays an important role in our lives. Not only is it the fastest way to reach for new information and
new knowledge, but it is also useful in building maturity and widening awareness of contemporary issues.
Besides, reading gave human the ability to think deeply and seek for changes, which is especially important for
people in Malaysia which has the vision of becoming an advanced country in 2020. However, despite being
one of the countries in South-East Asia with the highest literacy rate (93.2%), Malaysia is still far behind
developed countries like Japan, United States and Britain, which have a literacy rate of 99%.
Malaysia is suffering a poor reading culture among the citizens. It was found that Malaysians are only keen on
reading books that are related to their work field or of light genre. They opined that reading things that are
not to their interest is a waste of time and will not contribute to self-development, in which such mindset had
prevented them from reading to expand knowledge. Also, most Malaysians were not inculcated to read since
they were young, and they are less willing to spend money to buy quality books.
1. Reaching for new information and knowledge is the only benefit we gain from reading.
2. Malaysia is the country with the highest literacy rate in the world.
3. Citizens in Malaysia love reading books which are related to their work field or of light genre.

The historic summit between the United States and North Korea will take place next month in Singapore,
about 5,000 kilometers south of the North Korean capital, Pyongyang. Some reasons the tiny city-state was
chosen as the site.
Security:
Singapore is well-known for putting together top-level international gatherings at short notice. Since
Singapore gained independence in 1965, it has become one of the safest countries in the world.
Past experience:
Singapore also hosted a historic meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and then-Taiwan President Ma
Ying-jeou in November 2015. That meeting — the first between the leaders of the governments in Beijing and
Taipei since the civil war ended seven decades earlier — was arranged secretly.
Diplomatic ties:
Singapore is a large trading partner with the U.S., the second-largest Asian investor, and a longtime supporter
of its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region. It is also the regional headquarters of large U.S. companies
including Google, Facebook and Airbnb.
Singapore is one of about four dozen countries in the world where North Korea has an embassy. North Korea's
state-owned companies have, in the past, conducted legal and illegal business dealings with Singapore
businesses. The city-state officially cut off trade relations with North Korea in 2017 to obey international
sanctions.
1. Singapore has never held any top-level international gatherings at short notice before.
2. Since gaining independence, Singapore has become a dangerous place.
3. The United States is no longer the second-largest Asian investor.
4. North Korea only opens embassies in about 48 countries across the world.
