[1] In February 1987, the Ministry of Environment launched a pilot project for hawkers to use disposable polystyrene crockery, plastic cutlery and wooden chopsticks, citing hygiene concerns with existing melamine ware.
[4] In a quick survey conducted by The Sunday Times, 12 out of 15 patrons said they preferred proper crockery and cutlery.
[5] However, in a survey conducted by the Ministry in early 1988, most respondents rated disposable crockery as a "good/very good idea".
[6] Nevertheless, in 1989, Minister for Environment Ahmad Mattar announced that using disposable crockery would not be compulsory, citing complains from hawkers and patrons.
