: The 20 sen plastic bag charge, which currently applies to most permanent business premises, will be extended to all types of business premises starting in 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 initiatives 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.
Besides, several states had also implemented the Straws on Request campaign, namely Federal Territories , Kedah and Penang and Selangor .
