KUALA LUMPUR: The 2022 Malaysian Agriculture, Horticulture and Agrotourism Exhibition (MAHA) met its target of one million visitors yesterday, one day before its closing, said Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

In a Facebook post, the prime minister thanked all visitors for turning up to support MAHA and making it grand.

Ismail Sabri was at the 2022 MAHA yesterday to visit all state pavilions to see the products, food and culture of every state.

"I was happy to see that so many turned up together with their families in the spirit of Keluarga Malaysia... It was fun exchanging greetings with them, including a chance meeting with Haziq 'ulaq besar'. 

"I spent almost three hours at MAHA but still did not manage to visit many places," he said.

Meanwhile, Agriculture and Food Industries Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee, in his Facebook post, said the number of physical visitors to the 2022 MAHA had exceeded one million.

He congratulated Fatin Nur Aqilah for being the 1,000,000th physical visitor, which won her RM2,000 in cash and a RM1,000 voucher.

"A more special prize awaits the physical visitor number 1,100,001st. Thank you #KeluargaMalaysia for your presence in supporting the 2022 MAHA," he added.--BERNAMA
