Dengue: MPAJ spends RM1 million on campaign
The Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) spent almost RM1 million on its three-month anti-dengue campaign last year.
Council president Ahmad Shafii Saidin said the money was spent during the last three months of 2004 when a high number of dengue cases was reported.
“The money was used for preventive measures and to educate the public at ‘hotspots’ in Pandan Indah,” he said.
The council also plans to repair all broken drains and other facilities which are potential mosquito breeding grounds.
The allocation is part of the RM4.5 million beautification projects in Ampang Jaya.
