Need to establish specific Act to enforce polystyrene ban, says Selangor exco member

THE Selangor government is reviewing its existing ban on polystyrene packaging and even single-use plastic, to assess if stricter measures are needed before legal measures could be enforced state-wide.

State public health and environment committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin said there was also a need to establish a specific Act or legal measure to enforce the ban (whether at state or local government level).
