Taman Melawati Residents Association (TMRA) in Ampang organised a gotong-royong from Jalan I 1 to Jalan I 10 as a proactive measure in the fight against dengue.

Some 70 residents, who gathering at a local mosque at 9am, were split into seven groups before they began scouring the neighbourhood for old tyres, empty cans, flower pots and abandoned vehicles where water could be stagnant.
