Businesses call for campaign to prep public for plastic bag ban

IN anticipation of resistance to a proposed ban on the use of plastic bags in 2025, business owners recommended that the government launch an educational campaign to prepare the public for it.

Businesses, in particular vendors and hawkers, must be made aware of the environmental problems that plastic bags pose, Malaysian Federation of Hawkers and Petty Traders Associations president Voon Chin Leong said.
