Dorongan dan Galakan Membaca


Apa yang kita dapat bila membaca? Ada yang menyebut salah satu galakan untuk membaca seperti berikut;

Books can transport us across time and space. Membaca buku akan membawa kita pergi ke merata tempat dan boleh juga melihat suasana masa silam. 

Buat beberapa hari mendatang ni saya bercadang hendak ke Melaka. Apa ada di Melaka? Banyak sebenarnya yang ada kat Melaka. Kita boleh dibawa kezaman silam melihat sejarah zaman Hang Tuah. Ada juga sejarah hubungan Melaka dengan Daulah Uthmaniyah. Kita juga boleh melihat sejarah mengenai Peranakan Cina yang Melaka yang terus wujud hingga kini.
