Agriculture and Agrobased Industry Minister Noh Omar today refuted an allegation by the opposition that the mini Malaysian Agriculture, Horticulture and Agrotourism Show (MAHA) being held in Kuala Kubu Baru was connected with the coming Hulu Selangor parliamentary by-election.

He said the programme was held to forge closer rapport between the people and officers from the ministry, besides provide information for new entrepreneurs to venture into agriculture activities.
