Kuala lumpur: The 2025 Mega 3D Carnival (MK3D), held at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) since last Wednesday, has not only achieved its main objective but also gained recognition with seven entries in the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR).
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) deputy director-general (Community Development) Datuk Mohd Banuri Aris stated that the carnival, which brought together over 1,000 rural entrepreneurs, had successfully attracted 2.1 million visitors, surpassing the initial target of two million. Additionally, MK3D exceeded its cash sales target of RM6 million, recording RM6.9 million in transactions over five days.
Mohd Banuri mentioned that they are targeting around RM209 million in business matching, having achieved around RM200 million as of 5 pm today. He expressed confidence that this amount will continue to rise before the final count tonight. He highlighted that this success marks a new milestone in ensuring t
he sustainability of Bumiputera entrepreneurs under KKDW, the One District One Industry (SDSI) Showcase, and Felda.
The collaboration between Felda, the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW), and the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development (KUSKOP) has significantly contributed to the growth of the entrepreneurial and green economy in planned and rural areas. Mohd Banuri is optimistic about the potential for greater success of MK3D if it is held again in the future.
He added that Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi proposed that the programme be held again, potentially in conjunction with the 70th Felda Settlers’ Day celebration in early July next year. This initiative aims to provide more opportunities for Bumiputera entrepreneurs to participate and advance globally.
The carnival also witnessed an impressive feat by 57 individuals who collectively pulled a 13-tonne bus over 20 metres, earning an MBOR recognition for the Most Participants in a Bus Pulling Challen
ge. This was one among six MBOR achievements by Felda during MK3D, which also included the first synchronised orchestral performance involving 735 musicians and the largest-ever carom competition with over 1,400 players. KKDW received MBOR recognition for organising the Largest Entrepreneur Carnival.
