IPOH: Creating awareness on proper disposal of electronic waste via khutbah (sermon) at mosques is being considered by the Perak government, says exco member Mohd Akmal Kamaruddin.

"It would be similar to how we created awareness among the people to get the Covid-19 vaccine and booster shot," the state environment committee chairman told a press conference after the soft launch of the state-level National Environment Day at DR Seenivasagam Park here on Friday (April 22).
