Johor Records Highest Agricultural Sector Sales Of RM27.2 Bilion
GENERAL ISKANDAR PUTERI, June 24 (Bernama) -- Johor continues to strengthen its position as the leader in the agricultural sector when it successfully recorded the highest sales value of RM27.2 billion last year. State Agriculture, Agro-based Industry and Rural Development Committee chairman Datuk Zahari Sarip said the amount involved sales of crop sub-sector of RM20.9 billion, livestock (RM4.7 billion), aquaculture (RM1 billion) and fisheries (RM7 million). "Johor continues to strengthen its position as a leader in the country's agricultural sector when it successfully recorded the highest sales value based on the latest statistics from the interim findings of the 2024 Agricultural Census by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM). "This achievement not only reflects the fundamental strength of the agricultural sector in Johor, but is also the result of strategic planning and collaboration, the implementation of comprehensive policies and close cooperation between the state government and the federal government, implementing agencies, investors and all entrepreneurs who are the backbone of the development of this sector. He told reporters after chairing the Johor State Food Security Working Committee Meeting at Dato' Jaafar Muhammad Building Operations Room here today. He also expressed his appreciation to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (KPKM) which has channeled an allocation of RM23.4 million as support to strengthen the implementation of various high-impact initiatives and programmes. Meanwhile, he said the state government is formulating several strategies to ensure that players in the agriculture and food security sector are not left out of the rapid development trend in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). He said a series of workshops and engagement sessions are being implemented to comprehensively discuss protection and support measures for agricultural sector entrepreneurs so that they remain relevant in the state's long-term development plan. He said that as an initial step, Johor is driving several high-impact projects including the development of modern agricultural activities such as 'vertical farming' between a local company and a company from Singapore.

Sabah saleswoman hits RM20.9m jackpot with 18 random car plate numbers
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 — A 54-year-old saleswoman from Sabah struck it big on Chinese New Year's Eve, winning RM20.9 million in the RM23.1 million Toto 4D Jackpot 1. She had placed a System Play bet using random car registration numbers from her neighbourhood. 'I did not have any specific numbers to buy, so I just took the car registration numbers from vehicles parked in my neighbourhood and I accumulated 18 sets of numbers to bet on a System Play ticket because 18 is the luckiest number during Chinese New Year,' she said. She only checked the results on the first day of Chinese New Year and was overwhelmed by the win. 'This big ang pow was definitely the best thing that could happen in my life,' she added. She plans to share her winnings with family and invest wisely. The second winner, a 57-year-old designer from Selangor, took home RM2.2 million with an i-System 20 ticket. He credited a customer service assistant for advising him to bet on a Special Draw day, which ultimately led to his jackpot win. 'I must thank the customer service assistant who advised me to bet on a Special Draw day if not I would have missed the opportunity,' he said. The numbers he played were ones he had been betting on for years. He plans to buy a house for his daughter and save the rest for retirement.
