  "account": "Malaysia Agricultural, Horticulture and Agrotourism Exhibition 2026 (MAHA 2026) at MAEPS resumed opening to visitors today following a smoke and unpleasant odour incident. The Exhibition Management Committee in a statement clarified the incident occurred at 4:50 pm yesterday and was handled with assistance from the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) and a safety management team which found no ongoing safety threat. The exhibition organizers emphasized the technical issue had been resolved without any structural implications. There were no injuries, medical concerns, or psychological trauma reported. The Exhibition Management Committee confirmed the temporary emptying of Dewan A, a standard precautionary measure under the MAHA 2026 Safety Operation Standard procedures, to ensure visitor and exhibitor safety and comfort. MAHA 2026 runs from August 28th to September 6th at MAEPS and involves around 2,000 exhibitors with an anticipated audience of over four million visitors.",
