Michelle Yeoh has been appointed as the icon for the "Let's Read 1Malaysia" program to promote reading habits among Malaysians. As an avid reader herself since young, she reads an average of 10-15 books per month across various genres. She has proposed establishing a "Michelle Yeoh Reading Corner" in the National Library where she will donate some of her book collection. Yeoh is committed to holding reading sessions with others and hopes to foster closer relationships with local readers through reading. The information minister believes Yeoh is a suitable choice as the reading icon due to her popularity and status to influence Malaysians to cultivate reading habits.
