Give us time to adapt, traders tell City Hall

Change is never easy: Traders in Kuala Lumpur and other Federal Territories want more time to adapt to the new ruling for biodegradable packaging which came into effect on Jan 1 .

THE Federal Territory Bumiputra Traders Association is requesting more time from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to adapt to the new rules on the use of biodegradable packaging.

Its president, Datuk Rosli Sulaiman said that while the association supported the move by Federal Territories Ministry and DBKL to ban polystyrene, the organisation needed time to get all their members to go green.
