SHAH ALAM, Nov 9 — A total of 34 entrepreneurs from the Platform Selangor (PLATS) initiative recorded combined sales of nearly RM125,000 during the three-day Ban Canal Carnival 2026 in Sabak Bernam.
Yayasan Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated) or Yayasan MBI chief executive officer Ahmad Azri Zainal Nor said this achievement was bolstered by the provision of free trading spaces and the ‘PLATS Belanja’ coupon assistance programme for visitors.
Azri said these initiatives are designed to help PLATS entrepreneurs boost sales and create opportunities to generate income through participation in the carnival.
“Yayasan MBI provided free trading spaces, alongside the ‘PLATS Belanja’ coupon program for visitors, to support the PLATS entrepreneurs operating throughout the carnival,” he said in a Facebook post.
He added that this initiative is part of the State Government’s broader efforts through Yayasan MBI to add value for local entrepreneurs, creating more income-generating opportunities.
More than 34,000 visitors attended the three-day event, held from November 6 to 8 at Parit 14, Simpang Lima, Sabak Bernam. The carnival has been held annually since 2022.
The Ban Canal Carnival, which has run since 2022, not only benefits the local community and entrepreneurs but also has the potential to attract greater private-sector interest in exploring business and investment opportunities in Sabak Bernam.
