KUALA Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has launched a barter system, whereby waste such as plastic can be exchanged for food items.
The programme, called “1 Kiosk, 1 Community”, is specifically for those living in people’s housing projects (PPR) and public housing schemes.
Residents can exchange waste like aluminium cans, paper, plastic and used cooking oil in return for points that can be accumulated and redeemed for sugar, flour, cooking oil and condensed milk.
Each item comes with a point value. For example, 1kg of aluminium cans is worth 12 points, while 1kg of used cooking oil is worth 10 points.

GUWAHATI: The All Assam Students Union (AASU) took out a massive torchlight rally from Swahid Nyas at Uzan Bazar here on Friday evening to register its protests and opposition against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). Such rallies were also carried from different parts of the State.
The City Police made elaborate security arrangements in and around Swaid Nyas premises on Friday and prevented the torchlight rally soon after it was taken out by top AASU leaders and workers.
AASU chief advisor Dr Samujjal Bhattacharjya, while condemning the police and Assam Government to prevent the students organization to take out the torchlight rally in a peaceful and democratic ways, demanded that the government to give exemplary punishment to the police officials responsible for the brutal killing of two youths –Sam Stafford and Dipanjal Das – on the city streets during the anti-CAA movement.
carefully calibrating their escalation now for weeks. you saw them edge over the production limits in the 2015 nuclear accord. they re now producing slightly more uranium than they were allowed to. they re purifying it at a higher level. each of those steps is meant to up the pressure mostly on the europeans who have promised to help iran evade the u.s. sanctions by setting up a barter system with them. it s simply not working for the iranians at this point. they re not getting any revenue out of this barter system while their oil revenues have dropped dramatically. i think each one of these escalations, sort of a message to the europeans, that says you better make this work, or the entire agreement which the europeans are trying to preserve will fall apart. almost like acting out. and this didn t violate any u.n. resolutions. what can anyone do about this? what are the reactions or the steps that can be taken?
