Described as the first of its kind, the UAE’s new “national law of reading” was announced by UAE president, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan, earlier this week. It will allow government staff time to read at work – although they must focus on reading matter about professional and personal development within the context of the workplace.
It's unfortunate that the law is restricted to government employees. I hope it extends to all employees soon.

Someone should tell him if he became a book critic he could read most of the time for work. Do it on a YouTube Chanel and you don't even have to write or type.
