PUTRAJAYA, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- Information Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir assured the public that they would be informed of the latest development on the dengue outbreak in the country.
He said the ministry, through Radio Television Malaysia (RTM), would utilise its 32 radio channels and two television channels to disseminate information on the dengue situation which was now at a critical stage.
"The government will not hide any news on the dengue outbreak," he told reporters after launching the South-South Information Gateway, here Wednesday.
Abdul Kadir said it was important to provide the information to the public in efforts to overcome the problem as well as make them more aware of the dengue dangers.
He said all information on the disease would be based on reports from the Health Ministry.
Abdul Kadir said he was made to understand that the Health Ministry would hold a press conference on dengue twice a week and hoped that the media would also play their role by having more reports on dengue.
"The electronic and print media should help to disseminate information on this (dengue) because it is the country's problem. So, all should play their role," he added.
