Johor set to ban plastic straws

JOHOR BARU: Johor is likely to follow the Federal Territories in banning plastic straws from January, says Jimmy Puah Wee Tse.

“We have to move with the times to take care of our planet, and Johor should not be left behind in the efforts to reduce plastic waste.

“There are already alternatives to plastic straws in the market and the change is possible given the right push from the state government,” Puah told pressmen after attending the Walk For Hope 2018 programme organised by Senibong Cove developer, Front Concept Sdn Bhd, here yesterday.
