The sales started at around 7:30 a.m. and finished at 10:00 a.m..

Other stalls:

This is the first time we sold fresh vegetables. We managed to sell 54 kg of vegetables (including lettuce, wong kin pek, sawi, xiao bai chai) within 2.5 hours, and raised RM497 for KAA.

Special thanks to our member Louis for sponsoring the vege, to OC Kuek Hoon for arranging the transportation for the vege and to our members for waking up early to help up with the sales!!
