The design of Malay sentences for measuring reading performance for the Radner-UKM Malay Reading Charts
=4.83 ± 0.13 s, and mean reading errors of 0.13 ± 0.04 words. The Malay sentences and standard text's reading speeds were highly correlated (r = 0.81; p = < 0.001). Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.979. The 24 Malay sentence optotypes are highly comparable, with high validity and reliability, and are incorporated in the Radner-UKM Malay Reading Charts for determining reading acuity and speed for young, visually normal adult Malay speakers.
