PETALING JAYA: The Canadian Government is working with the Malaysian authorities to address any issues related to the shipment of waste from the North American country, says its High Commission here.
It said that news reports of Canada not taking back plastic waste in Malaysia was taken out of context.
ECCC's answer was that there were no plans for that ship to stop in Malaysia. Taken out of this context, the statement made in the article in question was not factual," the High Commission said in a statement posted on its Facebook page on Sunday . A spokesman for Canada's environment ministry Gabrielle Lamontagne was last week quoted as saying that,"there are no plans for the Canadian government to pick up waste in Malaysia."
