Bring you own containers to pack food next year. — RAYMOND OOI/ The Star

BUSINESSMEN in Selangor will face a RM1,000 fine if they use polystyrene packages come January 2017.

The fine comes following the new policy set by the state government that bans the use of polystyrene and promotes reduced plastic bag usage next year. The ban will take effect on Jan 1.
