Say NO to Plastic Bags

Plastic Bags

Ruling on “no free plastic bag day” on Saturday at hypermarkets, supermarkets and Petronas stations nationwide was launched simultaneously in all states recently.


For those who are unaware of the ruling, don't worry, just pay 20 sen for each plastic bag.

For those who are environmentally concern, they are most like well prepared by bringing along reusable grocery bag.

The campaign are expected to reduce significantly the amount of plastic bags and safe the environment.

To totally reduce the amount of plastic bags, all stores nationwide must participate in the effort and the rulings should be practiced everyday. Say NO to Plastic Bags.
 
However, as expected the rulings does not go well with plastic bags factory.

Help Preventing Crime Through Environmental Design




Recently, the Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) said that developers, builders, planners and architects will be roped in to help implement the concept of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). The MCPF vice-chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the basic concept behind CPTED was the effective use of the physical environment to reduce crime.

The concept has proven to be very effective in reducing crime rate all over the world. By implementing the concept, all buildings, houses, parks, pedestrian bridges, roads and back lanes are designed in such a way to create fewer opportunities for criminals. For further information on the Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation refer to Developers and builders to help cut crime by design.
