MAHA 2008

Posted by poobalan at 3:15 pm under I Was Here, Personal | | View blog reactions


Its been a busy week, and will get busier next week as more things get in motion. Nope, nothing about national scenario, but on personal front. Really can’t find time to blog for last 2 days.

Anyway, just a short note - makkals should make an effort to visit MAHA expo being held at Serdang near UPM). Its from 11th till 23rd August 2008. Opens daily from 10am till 7pm, except on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays where it is extended till 9pm (just announced yesterday).

With school holiday around the corner, it will be good to expose kids and youths to world of agriculture business. Try to go early because one day won’t be enough to explore the place. Wear good shoes for a lot of walking. A LOT.

Minnal FM have been airing advertisement on MAHA, so I hope more people will visit it. Drop by all the goverment department booths to get as much info as possible on grants, loans, subsidies, tax incentives, technologies, R&D etc.

Interested in goat-rearing, leech farm, mushroom farm, vermi-compost (learnt that word recently!), aquaculture etc? Get moving to MAHA.

Sad to say that not many makkals are visible there. And no Indian/Chinese-run food stall at the food court in block D (over 50 stalls!). I just had roti bakar (quite OK) for breakfast and skipped lunch due to the huge crowd.

Oh ya, saw Deputy PM Najib yesterday enjoying a cuppa at MADA (or was it KADA?) booth.

My short note looks longer now.
