KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A total of 432 warning notices and 1,156 compounds were issued against traders in the Federal Territories last year for not complying with the use of biodegradable products.

Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad said inspections at 2,707 business premises in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan also saw action taken against traders who did not comply with the ban on straws.

"In addition, we encourage people to bring their own bags when shopping, bring their own containers for packing food, and use alternative drinking straws, such as reusable straws, paper straws and biodegradable straws," he said. The inaugural programme, joined by 3,500 participants, was aimed at raising public awareness on the importance of environmental protection through the use of biodegradable products, especially in the Federal Territories.
