The Maruey Knowledge and Resource Center (MKRC) at The Stock Exchange of Thailand Building and Family Know-How Co., Ltd. take a further step in forming alliances with leading publishing houses. They have joined hands with Siam Inter Multimedia Pcl. (SMM). SMM is the licensed owner of Chinese action novels written by renowned writers such as Kim Yong, Kow Leng, and Huang Ei. This collaboration will bring THB50,000 in Chinese action novels to the shelves of the MKRC.
Mr. Kittiratt Na-Ranong, SET President, announced that the Maruey Knowledge & Resource Center at the SET and Family Know-how, which is a SET subsidiary, have joined forces with Siam Inter Multimedia Pcl. (SMM), Thailand’s leading publisher and licensed owner of several Chinese action novels, which just listed on the Exchange today. The three organizations will jointly hold activities to promote better reading habits and cultural understanding among Thai youth and the general public. SMM will bring its bestsellers to the MKRC’s “Literature and Bestseller Corner” where enthusiasts of Chinese action novels can read them.
“Initially, SMM will provide MKRC with licensed Chinese action novels written by renowned writers such as Kim Yong, Kow Leng, and Huang Ei and translated by a famous translator, N. Nopparat. SMM will be donating MKRC books worth a total of THB50,000. The fans of the Chinese action books will surely enjoy reading them,” the SET President said.
In addition to the Chinese action novels, SMM will also provide MKRC with at least 20 copies each of 3 bestselling books every month. These books will be donated, after having been used at the MKRC for a period, to the educational institutions participating in the University Networking Program, both in Bangkok and nationwide, as well as to public and community libraries. These donated books will give Thailand’s youth and its general public more opportunities to read good books.
Mr. Suthisak Lohsawat, Chairman of SMM, said, “SMM is very pleased to join the SET in promoting reading at the Maruey library. The collaboration will provide an opportunity for the new generation to develop their love for reading. The Chinese action novels provided by SMM to the ’Literature and Bestseller Corner’ are primarily for entertainment purposes; however, they will serve as excellent alternatives for MKRC readers.”
The MKRC has previously signed MOUs with three other leading publishing houses—Praphansarn, DMG Books, and Nanmee Books. These collaborations will equip the library’s “Literature and Bestseller Corner” with numerous popular and bestselling books for readers.
