"Entrepreneurs can introduce their products as well as create new business networks not only in Sabah but throughout the country. I hope the public can visit to buy local goods as they are sold at very reasonable prices," he said. Regarding the family-fun carnival, which is themed 'Our Efforts for Everyone', Adiratno said it is a platform to bring the community together to interact with the ministry's agencies to obtain information on government policies. He said various interesting activities at booths provided include Arm-Wrestling, KPDN Little Stars & Bintang Lokal (two karaoke contests with prize-money), colouring contest, the Mobile Legends E-Sports Sara Hidup/Living Costs competition (RM3,000 in prizes), the Cost of Living Expedition based on a fact-finding concept and a concert billed as The Band Showdown which features music as a medium for the cost of living message. The big attraction is a Lucky Draw offering grand prizes of a Perodua Alza 1.5L (H), Proton S70 1.5T Premium and a Modenas Karisma EX 125 motorcycle.
