The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale Pahang gets Honorary Visit from the Vice Chancellor of Universiti Malaysia Pahang

 The Vice Chancellor of Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) made a surprise visit to the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale Pahang last weekend, bringing his family along to seek out books at the Sale.

Professor Dato'  Sri Ts. Dr. Daing Nasir Ibrahim who arrived at the sale late Sunday, was pleased to find many Pahang folks still shopping for books at the hall. “It's a really great offer to the community in Pahang to be able to access affordable books that allows them to read more. It is also in line with our Minister of Education’s direction who has announced that the nation is observing the National Reading Decade Campaign this year,” said the professor.

Before leaving, he also urged the people to not overlook the importance of reading as it opens up one’s mind, knowledge and understanding about the world. He also reiterates that reading should start from young in an ecosystem that provides an ideal environment to encourage reading. “Reading is basically food for the thought,” added the professor.

Open from 10.00AM to midnight until 10 March 2019, Pahang folks and book lovers can still visit the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale at UMP, Gambang to pick up their favourite books and enjoy discounts from 75% to 95%.
