THE government will move towards adopting a “stick rather than the carrot approach” in taking stricter action against those found with Aedes mosquito breeding grounds in their premises, said Selangor Mentri Besar Amirudin Shari.

“It is time we start exerting pressure, either in the form of enforcement or summonses, to government agencies, residents and anyone who does not ensure the cleanliness of their area and play their role in reducing the dengue disease,” he said.
