Anjung Sari, a quiet gated community near the foothills of the Shah Alam Community Forest, is under siege by an old enemy - the Aedes mosquito.
"The number of dengue cases has been on the rise with 2,321 cases reported on Epidemiological Week 16 compared to 1,698 cases the week before. Another resident, S. Sandra, 67, learned she was infected on March 12 after having a mild fever for a few days. Its chairman Lee Chee Hung said several factors have contributed to the rise in dengue cases in the area.
"Abandoned lots also become breeding grounds," Yeoh said, adding that there was another major breeding area for the Aedes mosquito, a spot right in the centre of Anjung Sari. A Shah Alam City Council spokesperson however denied that the abandoned plot was the main cause of the dengue outbreak. "We have also done fogging in the affected area and urged the residents there to spend 10-15min every week looking around their houses to ensure there are no pools of water for the mosquitoes to breed."
