The 20 sen charge imposed by the Selangor government through its "no plastic bag" ruling will not burden the people.

This is according to Adrian Yeo, a policy officer in the office of Selangor executive councillor Elizabeth Wong, who said this was because the people have a choice by using their own bags when purchasing goods at outlets.

Instead, Yeo claimed, the 20 sen a litre hike on the RON95 petrol price early this month has been a burden on consumers, for they have been affected by the increment.
