World’s Largest Book Published in Texas, USA

In the US, a Texas non-profit and the Bryan Museum in Galveston teamed up to break the Guinness World Record for largest published book with a tome measuring 7 feet tall and 11 feet wide and weighing in at 496 pounds. 

 

Literacy nonprofit iWRITE and The Bryan Museum in Galveston teamed up to create a massive version of the book "I Am Texas", which contains writing and artwork from 1,000 Texas students from third to 12th grades. 

 

Thankfully, the book has smaller versions available for purchase. 

 

Yesterday, in Malaysia, Gabungan Parti Sarawak candidate Anyi Ngau has been declared winner of the Baram parliamentary seat, where polling had been delayed because of bad weather. He secured 18,399 votes, defeating his closest rival Roland Engan of Pakatan Harapan by a 7,339 majority in a three-cornered contest. 

 

GPS have now won 23 seats out of 31 contested. The other Sarawak seats were won by DAP (5), and one each by Pakatan Harapan, Perikatan Nasional, and Parti Bangsa Malaysia. 

 

Only one parliamentary seat and one state seat remain in contention after the elections for both seats were postponed due to the deaths of election candidates. 

 

These are the Padang Serai parliamentary seat in Kedah and the Tioman state seat in Pahang. The election for both seats will be held on December 07 instead, while nomination day falls on November 24.
