IPOH: Consumers here will now be charged 20 sen for a plastic bag every Saturday in line with the Federal Government’s move towards a zero single-use plastic bag campaign.

According to Ipoh mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin, this was among the first steps to be taken by the Ipoh City Council (MBI) to support the campaign.
