  "summary": "The Eco Discovery 2026 event, held on October 10 in Kuala Kubu Bharu, drew significant interest from participants who focused on ecotourism, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility. Organised by the Hulu Selangor Municipal Council (MPHS) in collaboration with Excapt Event, the event marked the council's fifth anniversary as a municipality and aimed to showcase the district's heritage and tourist attractions. MPHS president Julaihah Jamaludin highlighted the strong public interest in exploring Hulu Selangor's unique history, heritage, and natural beauty, noting the participation of 30 teams and the continued demand for participation despite the registration quota being reached. The event challenged participants' agility and teamwork while promoting environmental sustainability through activities such as collecting used cooking oil and electrical and electronic waste. MPHS hopes these programmes will encourage the public to appreciate local heritage, adopt environmentally friendly lifestyles, and support community initiatives for a more sustainable environment and thriving community.",
