Raising Awareness of Zika / Dengue

26 Sept 2016

RA SS20 Central Environment Committee organized a walk to cover all the roads in the Central Zone to raise awareness of the threat of the Aedes mosquitoes to the residents and also to identify potential mosquito breeding grounds.

We were happy to note that MBPJ contract workers have done a very good job in keeping Central Zone clean and neat.

All of us can help to prevent the breeding of the Aedes mosquito by frequently checking and removing stagnant water in our premises.

We thank: 

1) Cik Jamaliah Jamaluddin (MBPJ Councillor for Zone 9) and her assistant, Mr Daniel Low for joining us in the walk, 

2) YB Yeo Bee Yin's office for the provision of abate and Zika/Dengue stickers

3) MBPJ Health and Environment Department for their provision of dengue leaflets

4) MBPJ Solid Waste Management & Public Health Cleaning Department for their constant support to ensure a clean and neat environment in the Central Zone.

 

  

Anti Zika / Dengue Campaign

RA SS20 Central Environmental Committee members will be visiting Central Zone houses and check for mosquito breeding areas. 

Date: 26 September (Monday)

Time: 6:00 pm start

Be alert, Zika is already in Malaysia with at least 6 cases officially announced by the Health Department. 

Taking Aedes seriously

While preventive measures against mosquito-borne diseases have become top priority in Klang Valley neighbourhoods, there are still some residents with a lackadaisical attitude.

“The greatest danger to our future is apathy.” This quote by renowned conservationist Dr Jane Goodall points out the negative effects of apathy.

With the threat from Aedes mosquitoes greater today than ever, in the form of dengue and Zika, Malaysians cannot afford to be lackadaisical when it comes to keeping their surroundings clean.   READ MORE ....

Play part to combat rise of dengue, health experts tell public

PETALING JAYA: A continuous hot and warm season would give rise to dengue cases as it is the perfect condition for mosquito-breeding, warn health experts.

Dr Muhamad Hazizi Muhamad Hasani, who is the Malaysian Integrated Medical Professionals Association (Mimpa) operations director, said there were several factors that contributed to the rise of dengue.

“With such conditions, they can breed and become more active. They can even fly twice further,” he said yesterday.

He said cooperation from the public was ­needed to combat the rise of dengue as the authorities embarked on several efforts to contain its spread.  Read more .....
