KUALA LUMPUR: Pushing for drastic waste minimisation measures led Khor Sue Yee, 27, and Aurora Tin Fong Yun, 31, to be recognised, not just by their peers, but also Queen Elizabeth II.

Yesterday evening, the co-founders of Zero Waste Malaysia were honoured as the Commonwealth Points of Light for their exceptional work as waste reduction champions. The award was presented by the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward, who handed them a certificate signed by Queen Elizabeth II.
