People cannot leave dengue fight to council
KUCHING:
The people living in Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) jurisdiction must
have a sense of responsibility to clean their house compound to destroy
breeding ground of Aedes mosquitoes.
MPP deputy chairman Dr Zaeidi Suhaili said people should not solely rely on the council’s public health staff, who are shorthanded.
“The participation of the local community to clean the environment in assisting the council (MPP) is necessary because the council (public health) does not have enough staff to carry out such cleaning campaign in every village,” Zaeidi said at an anti-dengue ‘gotong-royong’ campaign at Tiang Bukap in Padawan yesterday.
The event was officiated by State Legislative Assembly (DUN) deputy speaker Datuk Roland Sagah Wee Inn. He pointed out that while the council would continue to carry out environment cleanliness campaigns, the participation and cooperation of the local community was vital.
Stressing that the campaign was necessary in view of dengue cases, Zaeidi disclosed that 49 dengue cases were reported in MPP area this year, with 102 fogging exercises carried out.
He said keeping the environment clean was also necessary to prevent other diseases like Malaria.
