LETTERS: I recently visited the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) bookstore at Menara DBP in Kuala Lumpur. While browsing at the magazine section, I was pleasantly surprised to see a sign denoting that the latest issues of Dewan Sastera and Dewan Bahasa were complimentary copies. Just to make sure that is the case, I took a copy and headed to the payment counter and inquired from a DBP staff member on duty about the matter. The staff member replied in the affirmative and then kindly handed me a copy of an earlier issue of Dewan Sastera, which was given out free. As for Dewan Bahasa, it has a longer history as it was published in 1957.
