Reps ticked off for not acting to fight dengue

KUANTAN: The Pahang Government has ticked off state assemblymen and community leaders for not showing any leadership in tackling the dengue epidemic.
State Health, Welfare and Orang Asli Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Ishak Mohamad said they seemed to be waiting for the authorities to “make a move.”
He said although the Tengku Mahkota of Pahang, Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, had launched the state anti-dengue campaign with a gotong-royong at Taman Tas here, state assemblymen had yet to follow up in their constituencies.
