Dealing with plastic waste


Tthe illegal plastic recycling factories and waste dumping site at Sungai Rambai in Jenjarom.

I APPLAUD Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin for doing a great job in clamping down on illegal plastic recycling factories and banning the import of plastic waste. Stopping the issuance of new licences is also a major deterrent to this plastic scourge. Seeing her and her ministry working hard to stop pollution and climate change gives us all the reassurance that our nation now has a good chance of preventing further damage to the environment.

Pollution and climate change is devastating the earth and global warming is happening faster than earlier thought by scientists. Although great work has been done recently, it is only on the local front. YB Yeo, her ministry and the government need to escalate it further onto the international stage to make a bigger dent and impact for a cleaner environment.
