Perlis mulls banning polystyrene, plastic bags

He told the State Assembly in Kangar that the state government did not have a specific action yet on the ban against the use of plastic bags and polystyrene.

‘’For the time being, the state government has implemented a campaign banning the use of plastic bags and polystyrene every Saturday as a starting measure,’’ he said.

He said this when answering an oral question from Gan Ay Ling (PKR-Indera Kayangan) on why the use of polystyrene was still not banned in the state.

Teh (MCA-Titi Tinggi) said the use of polystyrene could have a negative impact on the environment.
