Readings@Tanjong returns with NEGARA KITA on 16 September 2023! The event is a part of the inaugural Penang Harmony Celebration and will be held in conjunction with the 60th anniversary of Malaysia Day. There will be a mix of poetry and cultural performances, with written works inspired by the theme of Harmony in Diversity.

This will be a time to think about belonging, togetherness, unity, and peace; a time to ponder on what it is to be Malaysian and to be living in this country we call home.

Come in your best traditional attire and let's celebrate Malaysia together.
