"In addition, we are also working with government agencies, non-governmental organisations and local communities to ensure optimal support and engagement as well as formulate communication strategies to promote programmes to the people through the media and websites," the statement said.
Ministry of Economy senior undersecretary (Management) Dr Nor Azlina Ariffin was quoted today as saying that preparations for the programme are in the final stages with the preparation level reaching more than 95 per cent and the focus only involves a few focus locations such as the main stage, ministry booths and sales sites.
