00:13 the feat.
00:14 It was a first-time experience for many participants.
00:17 "I was in the stage at 7pm.

00:36 had made it into the record books.
00:39 Last year, it broke the record for having the most participants wearing ethnic attire
00:43 at an event during the Unity Week celebration in Kuching.
00:47 The ministry initially expected 1,500 participants for the kacang pol record attempt, but the
00:53 eventual turnout totaled 2,400 people.
00:57 The four-day event expects to attract some 200,000 visitors.
