KUALA LUMPUR: The ubiquitous kap chai (small motorcycles) may be banned in Kuala Lumpur as a measure to reduce carbon emissions. Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said they were looking at prohibiting these motorcycles and deterring commuters from driving into Kuala Lumpur if public transportation was available at a reasonable price. “Many cities do not allow kap chai to come in. “Once cheaper public transport is available, we will be looking at the possibility of not allowing kap chai motorcycles into the city,” he said at the launch of the Kibar Bendera Wilayah Persekutuan campaign yesterday. On the ban on plastic bags and polystyrene containers, Tengku Adnan said the ministry was planning to act as a supplier of biodegradable products for traders.
