SHAH ALAM: Dirty back lanes, poorly managed gardens, as well as houses and land left abandoned, are among the main causes that have been contributing to the increase in dengue cases in Selangor, says state exco member Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud.

And making the situation more worrying were people who are unaware of the dangers of dengue, she said.
