Library On Wheels
By Huraizah Ahmad

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Language and Literature Bureau yesterday launched two buses as part of its mobile library services at the Youth Development Centre in Lambak.

"A successful nation is one that is able to produce and utilise the latest technologies.

"In order to make use of technology, a nation needs to be knowledgeable and knowledge is acquired through reading books," the Director of Language and Literature Bureau said in his welcoming remarks during the blessing ceremony.

The event was officiated by the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Dewa Major General (R) Dato Seri Pahlawan Awang Hj Mohammad bin Haji Awang Mohamad bin Hj Daud.

According to him, a variety of books are available at the Language and Literature Bureau (DBP) Library and some of these books are found in the DBP mobile library.

The slogan for the new buses that read `Membaca Nadi Kejayaan Bangsa' (Reading- the Rhythm of a Nations' Success) highlights the significance of the reading culture in order to be a successful nation.

"The slogan that is written on the sides of the buses will be seen around the country and hopefully will be able to spread the positive message to encourage a reading culture amongst the nation," he added.

The event was highlighted with a ribbon cutting and traditional blessing act – ‘Menepung Tawar’ - of the new DBP buses officiated by the chief guest at the event. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
