“Therefore, we decided to expand the show and are currently preparing for the arrival of the aircrafts, which is expected to arrive today (yesterday) and tomorrow (today),” he said when met at the aviation centre, here yesterday.
Hasan said Invest Selangor is expecting a turnout of some 5,000 people for the inaugural event as the country’s border is still not entirely open.
“The programme will be opened in stages. The first two days will be slated for industry players whereas the public, especially higher educational institution students, can visit on the last day.
“Entry to the exhibition will also be limited with 500 visitors per hour for crowd control and to avoid violations of the standard operating procedures,” he said.
