BAYAN Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin’s service centre has a flourishing garden with a variety of vegetables and pineapples in a move to promote urban farming within the community.

The Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Minister said Bayan Baru is ideal for urban farming and this practice could increase food production and also reduce daily expenses for consumers.
