Consumers Association of Subang and Shah Alam (CASS) president Datuk Dr Jacob George held a press conference on Aug 1, 2014 about the water issue.
WITH the ban on plastic bags in the Federal Territories and Selangor having taken effect from Jan 1, consumer groups and experts are asking what happens to the money gained from the sale of plastic bags that were once given free to consumers.
From this month onwards, consumers making purchases are no longer given free plastic bags. Instead, they are encouraged to bring their own recyclable bags. Or pay 20sen for each plastic bag.
