MIRI: Hooman & Pawlooza 2026 has provided a platform for local young entrepreneurs to promote their products, expand their markets and generate income through the sale of various homemade products and food.

Sarawak Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin said the participation of young people in the event was a positive development, providing them with opportunities to venture into business and earn an income.

He said the wide variety of food, cakes and products on display reflected the creativity and ability of young entrepreneurs to produce unique offerings that stood out from those commonly found in the market.

“Platforms such as this not only help young entrepreneurs introduce their respective products, but also encourage them to continue innovating and developing their business potential,” he said.

He said this when officiating at the programme at Permy Mall here on Friday.

Dato Sri Lee also commended the organisers for providing young entrepreneurs with a space to market their products, expressing hope that their participation would give them valuable experience and encouragement to grow their businesses.

Held from 29 October to 1 November, the event featured 53 food stalls and various activities, including a mini zoo, sports and modified car exhibitions, a children's colouring competition, Halloween-themed activities and a Cardio Dance performance.

Visitors also had the opportunity to bring their pet cats to the event while enjoying a wide selection of food, drinks and products offered by local vendors. -UKASnews
