The Penang State Government is ordering supermarkets and hypermarkets not to use plastic bags on every Monday starting from next month.
You think this will work???
I think it is just typical Malaysian approach to solving problems..the knee jerk technique. You can't just force people not to use only on Monday. In no time the supermarkets/hypermarkets will declare Mondays as days off due to poor business. I will not go shopping there on Monday, not that I don't support "green environment". It just won't work in this manner.
Just like recycling, I have given up trying to dispose off in the recycling bins my bottles and batteries simply because I cannot find any bin! To add insult to injury, I once witnessed the workers (obviously sub-contracted) just dumped everything from the 3 separate bins into their truck!!
In no time, the Police might announce that there won't be anymore snatch theft as they would have 24-hr patrol on every street each Monday!!
