Notable awards were presented including those for the “Suara Shah Alam: Popular vs Clean” and the “Tiktok 3C” programmes.
MBSA also recognised the Seda-10 (Search & Destroy Aedes 10 Minutes) agents of MBSA.
They comprised 24 dedicated council members who actively mobilise communities within MBSA’s jurisdiction to combat the Aedes menace.
