00:00 Some 2,400 people ate their way into the Malaysia Book of Records at the National Unity Week
00:06 event in Johor on Friday.
00:09 They munched on a Middle Eastern-inspired popular dish called kacang pol to achieve
00:13 the feat.
00:14 It was a first-time experience for many participants.
00:17 "I was in the stage at 7pm.
00:20 It was my first time to take part in the event.
00:25 I felt the atmosphere of kacang pol was very good for everyone."
00:31 National Unity Minister Datuk Seri Aaron Agodagang said this is the second time the ministry
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.
