"We live in a multi-cultural society in Malaysia so these poems can help us understand Chinese literaturem," said a commuter.

"I really like it, ethnic Malays can understand Chinese culture through the Malaysian translations," a commuter said.

With translations next to Chinese characters, commuters can take a break and sample the beauty of Chinese short poems. Written by six Chinese poets from Malaysia, the literary works convey an upbeat mood and energetic spirit.

"I think Chinese culture, it's in our blood. We want the next generation to be raised in our native culture. There are a lot of truly valuable teachings in our culture. It provides guidance on how to deal with issues and how to treat others," said Cheng Dai-Zheng, adviser of Federation of Chinese Association Malaysia.

With Malay and English having long been the dominant languages in Malaysia, Chinese is starting to grow in use and popularity, allowing all Malaysians to get a better understanding of Chinese culture.
