When are we going to start banning plastic bags in Malaysia?

Early April this year San Francisco became the first and only U.S. city to ban the use of plastic bags. Now, the rest of the country seems to be following in its footsteps. 

Kudos!!! Plastic bags after all endanger wildlife and can take up to a whopping thousand years to decompose.

Surveys done across the U.S. show that up to 54% of Americans believe that plastic, non-compostable shopping bags should be banned. In addition, a survey done on a population of 1,080 Americans showed that at least one-third of Americans take reusable shopping bags to food stores. 

Globally, many countries are following this move to promote sustainability and to make our planet a greener place for future generations. Those countries include Bangladesh and China. How about Malaysia?
