Den malaysiske sammenslutning af plastfabrikanter (Malaysian Plastic Manufacturers Association) påpegede, at et af de selskaber, der ikke var udtaget til stikprøven, havde undladt at indberette lokalt salg af poser af plast fra et forretningsmæssigt forbundet selskab, og burde have været udtaget til stikprøven.
The Malaysian Plastic Manufacturers Association pointed out that one of the companies not selected in the sample had failed to report its local sales of plastic bags of a related company, and should have been selected for the sample.
