Nafas acting general manager, Saripol Baharin Karim said Mohd Aziz was one of seven lucky winners through today’s draw for the contest.

Among other prizes offered are Samsung S20 FE and Samsung A52 smartphones, a 20-inch Java Zello brand folding bicycle, a Philips perfectcare compact steam iron, Samsung Tab A7 Lite and a Sharp 42-Inch TV,” he said at the Malaysia Agro Expo Park Serdang (MAEPS).

In the meantime, Saripol expressed his gratitude to the visitors who participated in the contest and for following the Nafas programme throughout Maha 2022.

"I did not expect to receive more than 20,000 entries in this answer-and-win contest. Hopefully, we will meet again at the next Maha,” he said.
