IPOH: Perak will press ahead with plastic-free days which failed previously due to a lack of public awareness and support.

“Initiatives like this have to be taught from young. We want not just plastic-free but also a car-free day,” said state environment committee chairman Prof Dr Abdul Aziz Bari.
