Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) recorded a 25.15% increase in dengue cases up to Epidemiological Week 27 this year compared with the corresponding period last year.
Subang Jaya mayor Datuk Amirul Azizan Abd Rahim said 2,533 cases were recorded, up from 2,024 during the same period in 2025.
“MBSJ’s Health Department together with the Petaling District Health Office and other relevant agencies are monitoring 11 hotspots to curb the spread of dengue.
“Among the measures being carried out are inspections to identify and report Aedes mosquito breeding sites, as well as larvicide treatment and fogging operations.
“The fight against dengue requires everyone’s cooperation.
“The city council urges the public to eliminate all mosquito breeding grounds within their areas,” he said during his final MBSJ full board meeting as mayor on Tuesday, as he had completed his two-year term.
On another matter, councillor Lee Jen Uyin urged MBSJ to review its parking enforcement hours and end charges at 5.30pm instead of 6.30pm.
Amirul Azizan said the current operating hours followed a standard practice adopted by all local authorities in Selangor.
“It is a uniform schedule that ensures consistent parking revenue collection and falls under the local council’s by-laws,” he said.
“In order to change the operating hours, the by-laws must first be amended.
“However, the operating hours are the same across all local councils,” he pointed out.
Separately, the mayor said 565 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras would be installed under the Selangor Intelligent Parking (SIP) initiative.
“To date, 140 CCTV cameras have been installed, of which 42 are operational.
“MBSJ plans to instal another 300 AI-enabled CCTV cameras with enhanced facial recognition capabilities.
“Funding for these cameras will be included in the 2027 budget,” said Amirul Azizan.
The mayor also said MBSJ carried out a placemaking study in SS15 on July 14.
“MBSJ hopes that through public participation and the information gathered, public spaces can be physically transformed into more vibrant and active places,” he added.
