PETALING JAYA: Only a small segment of the community is taking steps to reduce plastic usage, more than a decade after official discouragement on the use of single-use plastics was sparked, say NGOs and associations.

Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) president Prof Dr Ahmad Ismail said reducing the use of plastic straws and bags is not yet a habit among Malaysians.
