The 'No Plastic Bag Day' Campaign is aimed at reducing the use of plastic bags, in a bid to preserve the environment.

The production of plastic bag uses fossil fuel, petroleum, as its raw material. This is highly unsustainable. In addition, 99% of the plastic bags are filling up our limited landfill, the balance 1% ends up in your home's cabinet and much lesser being recycled. These bags also ends up in our rivers, beaches and those clogging up the drains caused unnecessary urban issues. There are many documented cases where marine animals suffocate and die of indigestion of plastic bags, they thought were food.

Those still wishing to use plastic bags would be charged 20 sen for each bag.

We encourage you to play your part in saving the planet and to bring your own reusable bags!
