Almost a decade ago I was already paying 30 Fen (or roughly SGD 6 cts) for a plastic bag at those major grocery stores.

Pearls of wisdom from minsiter (scroll to end of link)... 


"Instead of disposable carrier bags, there are other ways to bag rubbish, said Dr Khor. For instance, repurposing packaging from other products, such as toilet roll bags and rice bags"

[wendychan]

toilet roll 10 rolls, one plastic bag...

how fast most households use up 10 rolls to "repurpose" the plastic bag?

[Ola]

11 FairPrice outlets charge 20 cents per transaction when plastic bags are requested at the cashier, regardless of how many bags are used

[[[ForeverAlone]]]

[Ola]

It is false accusation that those who do not take any plastic bags are honest people

I am not as dumb as JAC Lau
