State Environment, Green Technology, Science, Technology and Innovation, and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman, Hee Loy Sian said the Selangor government had ordered all the local authorities to place a clause in the business licence renewal application form which encouraged all food premises to participate in this campaign.

“For the time being, no fines will be imposed on food premises which do not follow the directive, as we want to educate consumers and for them to get used to not using plastic straws for their drinks and to instead, use straws made from paper, bamboo or stainless steel,” he told reporters after observing the campaign on its first day, here, today.Hee said the actual enforcement on plastic straw usage ban was expected to kick off in 2025.
