My father, David Tan Tai Kim is an avid reader. He loves reading books relating to current affairs, local interests, history (World War II, the Emergency period, etc) and biographies. Besides reading books, he surfs the internet and reads all of the newspapers from cover to cover. It was no surprise that on 23rd April 2012, in conjunction with World Book Day, he was given a Certificate of Recognition for being the Most Active National Library's book borrower in 2011. He received the Certificate of Recognition, book vouchers and more books(!) from the Director General of the National Library, Datuk Roslin Abu Bakar (New Straits Times, 24th April, 2012). Not bad for a person who just turned 77 years young last February. Everyone should make attempts to read and increase their general knowledge. We need to go beyond the text books given in school. Take the initiative and make it a habit to read!
Readers may want to ask, has my father read my book Mediation Skills and Techniques? Good question. For that, you need to ask him!
