“The response was very good. We recorded RM52,000 in sales value on the first day, followed by RM56,000 on the second, and RM46,000 on the third.
“On the final day, the programme was held in two locations with a total sales value of RM76,000.
“Each carnival ran for a short period, only within three to four hours,” he said.
In conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidiladha festival, the Jualan Ehsan carnival was held in Sijangkang, Bukit Beruntung, Tanjung Sepat, Gombak and Pandan from July 5 to 8.
Among the goods that were offered at the carnival include whole chicken priced at RM15 each, grade B eggs at RM12 per tray, cooking oil at RM2 per packet, fresh meat at RM35 per kilogramme and frozen fish at RM8 per packet.
