Apathy among many M’sians not helping in fight against Aedes mosquito


Taking precautions: A Kota Kinabalu City Hall personnel carrying out fumigation activities at the Taman Public Jaya Apartment where a 61-year-old man contracted the mosquito-borne Zika virus.

PETALING JAYA: Almost every day, someone is dying of dengue. Now, the Zika virus is here to heighten the danger of the Aedes mosquito. Unfortunately, Malaysians don’t seem to care.

Most are oblivious to the danger lurking in their midst with rubbish collecting everywhere and stagnant water to allow the mosquito to breed uncontrolled.
