2 weeks ago, President Obama invited 100 officials from various countries to an inftar dinner at the white house state room. During the dinner President Obama said:

"Here at the White House, we have a tradition of hosting iftars that goes back several years, just as we host Christmas parties, seders, and Diwali celebrations. These events celebrate the role of faith in the lives of the American people. They remind us of the basic truth that we are all children of God, and we all draw strength and a sense of purpose from our beliefs.

For in the end, we remain “one nation, under God, indivisible.” And we can only achieve “liberty and justice for all” if we live by that one rule at the heart of every religion, including Islam—that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us.

Thank you all for being here, and I wish you a blessed Ramadan." -President of America Barack Obama-

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 (Bernama) -- More than 1.5 million local and foreign visitors are expected during the Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture and Agrotourism International Show (MAHA) 2010 beginning Nov 26.

"In order to place MAHA 2010 as the prime agriculture event of the region and gain its recognition with other international agro shows, we have extended the promotion campaign to Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia.

"Sales are forecasted to grow 56.3 per cent to RM15 million from RM9.6 million in the previous edition of MAHA on 2008," he said after gracing the soft launching of MAHA 2010, here Tuesday.

The sixth edition of the MAHA will be held at the Malaysia Agro-Exposition Park Serdang.

Elaborating further about the event, Noh said that the expo was set to position Malaysia as a centre of excellence in the development of agriculture and the agro-based industry in order to attract private and foreign investment.

"MAHA 2010, themed 'Agricultural Innovation for Growth' is a show that flaunts Malaysia's best producers, farmers, fishermen and stockmen, as well as a platform to pitch the region's best agro-based companies.

"Focus will be given to highlight new innovative technologies which I am certain, will attract potential foreign exhibitors, active buyers, sellers and visitors to make Malaysia as their preferred One-Stop Centre for product showcase and trading purposes," he added.
