Indonesia Immigration had arrested 103 Taiwanese nationals suspected of cybercrime, with most of their victims being Malaysians, headlined China Press and Guang Ming Daily.

The problem of plastic pollution harming the global environment seems to be getting worse, Nanyang Daily said. 

The daily added that people must seriously consider the consequences of using plastic and deeply think about how to break free from plastic dependency.

Due to the low rate of plastic recycling, effectively reducing the environmental harm caused by plastic can only start by refusing plastic bags or gradually reducing plastic use from the production end, such as switching to plant-based or biodegradable plastics, said the daily. 

Of course, this also requires education and advocacy through the media to promote green concepts, encourage the use of reusable shopping bags, and advocate for green consumption, the daily also said. 

Additionally, the cooperation of businesses is needed to adopt green packaging and increase investment in clean technology, so that everyone can become an environmental practitioner and innovator, the daily added.
