Meanwhile, Lim Toh Yung, the supermarket general manager, said that public response to the fair has been most encouraging, with customers from neighbouring states coming over to shop for quality products and items.
The launching ceremony also featured a drumming performance and a Chinese musical ensemble by Chung Hwa Middle School students.
