Surge in dengue cases due to public apathy, says Abdullah
KEPALA BATAS: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi says public apathy in keeping their surroundings clean has led to the recent surge in dengue cases in the country.
He said the people still clog their drains with rubbish and dirty their surroundings, making these places ideal for the aedes mosquito to breed.
“We have organised numerous cleanliness campaigns, urging people to keep their environment clean at all times.
“But, if they still do not listen and keep on asking what to do when plagued by such diseases, I do not know what else can be done,” he said after performing Friday prayers at Masjid Kampung Permatang Bendahari in Penaga here yesterday.
