Dato Seri Rafidah will sign on a large book located in the middle of the backdrop and this will be followed by all the authors signing on their books on the backdrop.
After all books are signed lights and music effects will precede the opening of a hidden door on the backdrop which will take all guests into the bookstore.
Some authors will be participating in pockets of entertainment. The pocket entertainment will be held inside the bookstore when Dato Seri Rafidah begins her tour. For example, Chef Wan has agreed to make the GOH of Merdeka Salad to try.
We have also asked some of the other authors to participate by reciting poerty or reading a passage from a book.
(end of press release)
I wonder if Wanita UMNO leader Rafidah Aziz will make reference to the fact that the shopping mall is built on the grounds where one of the country's most famous girls' schools, BBGS, had stood for a century?

Hey Amir, get your notebook & pen ready. She might say something funny.
do u think tht 'jerung AP' and present ruling party care about the school? hell no.
She *did* say a few funny things actually :-) But not as funny as the first book launch I attended which had her as a guest (in the 90s, for a novel called Echoes of Silence), where she said, "Actually I don't have time to read made-up books. So I am not sure why I am launching this."
salam amir, my husband has been invited as well for his book, Growing Up in Trengganu - but we cant make it home in time. All the bst and congratulations to you!
yeah, that was my school you were talking about!
Sabar.
Sabar itu separuh daripada Sabarina!
saba itu separuh dari sabarina.
