Plastic straws will only be provided on request in S'gor F&B outlets from July 1

State Environment, Green Technology, Science and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman Hee Loy Sian said the implementation of the policy on reducing the use of plastic straws was approved by the State Executive Council on Wednesday .He said all local authorities would include the ban in the Terms of Business Licence Application when restaurant operators submit new applications or renew their business licences.

He explained that the implementation of the policy was in line with the ongoing plastic campaign in Selangor, in line with the Government's intention to reduce the use of single-use plastics such as plastic bags, polystyrene coverings or plastic food coatings and disposable plastic materials, among others.

He said the state government was proud and thankful that many food and beverage operators had implemented such initiatives already.

I've never disagreed right from the start. The right way to go is waste separation. It's the root of this problem. I always separate my waste, but where does it go to? It all gets dumped into the same place. If government get the system sorted out, we'll be like Japan.

Just stop the usage, people will eventually adapt. Why do you need to provide if requested. There are better options available anyways.

no more plastic wrappers and containers for snacks, milk powder, rice, sugar, salt, chocolate, mineral water, drinks, shampoos, detergents, oil, and almost everything on the supermarket shelves. each item must be charged 20 sen

this should also be applied to stalls, pasar malam etc.

NO MORE STRAWS! NO MORE BAGS! USE PAPER...
