Digital immersive and explorative gallery 'Teroka' set to debut at KLIBF
The Digital Immersive and Explorative Gallery "Teroka" is set to make its debut at the Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair (KLIBF) from May 23 to June 1. National Book Council director Mohd Khair Ngadiron said the gallery, held in conjunction with Malaysia's Asean 2025 chairmanship, is designed as an experiential journey through time featuring curated visuals, archival materials, and cutting-edge digital installations. He said the gallery explores the evolution of Malaysian literary traditions, from ancient manuscripts to the dynamic development of the national book industry, while celebrating the intellectual legacy that continues to shape the South-East Asian region. "This immersive gallery invites visitors to engage with the foundational wisdom of early thinkers from Malaysia and South-East Asia, rediscover the nation's soul through storytelling, and envision the strategic aspirations of Malaysian literature on the global stage,' he said in a statement. Located at Bilik Labuan, Level 5, World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL), the gallery features a main exhibition space, the Teroka foyer, a book corner showcasing the best Malaysian books from 2023 to 2025, and an activity area where visitors can create their own pantun and take part in quizzes. - Bernama

Muda to contest in Sabah elections, open to alliances
KOTA KINABALU, April 28 — The Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) will field several candidates in the upcoming Sabah state elections, though the exact number remains undisclosed. Muda Sabah chairwoman Faezrah Rizalman hinted that the party would contest fewer than ten seats, citing its relatively small membership of 5,000 in the state. However, she expressed optimism about improved performance following years of groundwork, particularly in urban areas. Faezrah emphasised Muda's openness to collaborating with both government and opposition parties, provided they share similar ideologies. She also noted shifting attitudes among Sabahan youth, who are increasingly focused on safeguarding their rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) rather than local party sentiments. 'The younger generation is evaluating parties based on policy, not rhetoric. Muda aims to set an example by prioritising principled politics,' she said after launching the Teroka by Muda leadership programme in Inanam on Sunday. Acting Muda president and Puteri Wangsa assemblywoman Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz also attended the event. The Teroka programme is designed to train young leaders in democracy, governance, and community engagement. — The Borneo Post
