Dry Weather In Miri Taking Its Toll

MIRI, - The dry weather in Miri Division over the last three weeks is taking its toll on the people, with over 1,000 rural folk being in need of clean water supply and 200,000 more affected by the haze.

Miri Resident and district offices would be sending tankers to bring clean water to the affected population soon.

Who would have expected the yearly haze season would come so early in February?

Starting this year, "No Bag Plastic Day" will also include Friday & Saturday along with the already established Sunday.

Just as before, the Objectives of Campaign is to to create awareness among the public on the dangers of expansive use of plastic, reduce or minimize the plastic usage starting from shopping complexes by using recyclable shopping bags and encourage public from various levels to participate in environmental awareness programme.

So far, I do not have any information on whether plastic bags will be charged an additional RM0.20 as before.
