PETALING JAYA: Environmental groups are warning of a potential spike in plastic pollution in the aftermath of floods triggered by tropical storm Senyar, saying uncollected waste could create long-term environmental, health and flood-resilience issues.
EcoKnights president Amlir Ayat said floodwaters can carry large amounts of plastic waste, creating multiple risks for communities and infrastructure.
