Food outlets still giving out plastic straws, says Selangor Environment Dept


PETALING JAYA: There is still a lack of awareness on the "no plastic straw" policy among food traders, says Selangor Environment, Green Technology and Consumer Affairs committee chairman Hee Loy Sian.

"Since we launched the policy on July 1, I still find food outlets readily giving out straws. We will print posters and distribute them to increase awareness about this," he said.
