Set up a wealth of knowledge at home

"The rich in Malaysia should set up their own library filled with valuable
books and upon their death, donate the books to the public libraries."
KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has suggested that wealthy Malaysians set up their own library at home stocked with valuable works and books.

He said this was the practice in western countries where the rich set up

their own library stacked with various old books and later donating them to
public libraries after their death.
"The rich in Malaysia should set up their own library filled with valuable
books and upon their death, donate the books to the public libraries," he told
reporters when attending the International Book Fair, here.


In conjunction with the International Book Fair beginning today at the Putra
World Trade Centre, Dr Mahathir also spent time signing his book, 'A Doctor in
the House', which were purchased by patrons. - Bernama
