The move is part of a 12-year roadmap to phase out single-use plastics.

The 20 sen plastic bag charge, which currently applies to most permanent business premises, will be extended to all types of business premises starting 2022, Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail announced.

“The imposition of plastic bag charge and the no-straw-by-default practice are the government’s initiative to prevent consumers from using single-use plastics and at the same time encourage them to make more eco-friendly decisions by bringing reusable bags when shopping and drinking without using a straw,” she said.

In the Federal Territories, retailers were only allowed to provide biodegradable and compostable plastic bag and, beginning March this year, retailers had also begun charging their customers 20 sen for every piece of that kind of plastic bag.
