CAP president S.M. Mohamed Idris said this would be the second consecutive year that the ‘Go Natural’ fair was to be held.

“The fair aims to promote a sustainable lifestyle. We will introduce home solutions for personal health.

“Among them are how to grow an ‘edible’ garden where certain vegetables can be easily grown at home,” he said.
