THE Chief Minister, Mohamed Azmin Ali, has had the spirit and persistence to conduct walkabouts in the effort to eradicate the breeding of Aedes mosquitoes from becoming widespread for the sake of the people’s safety.
Throughout the year under his administration, he carried out various initiatives and to this day, it still continues with cooperation from Exco members, local authorities and the Department of Health.
Mohamed Azmin said that the state government wants trash problems, dengue, public safety and road maintenance to become the main focus after he was appointed as the Chief Minister.
He said that stern action will be taken against those found being Aedes breeding grounds such as termination of work notice, compounds or seizure of licences against developers if the same problems recur.
“I personally welcome the Minister of Health of Selangor so that every decision is made collectively between the central government and the state,” he said.
Prior to this, Mohamed Azmin visited several locations for the Find and Destroy Aedes, some of which were carried out in the district of Petaling.
“We are taking proactive action to launch programmes and I will be directly involved, together with all Assemblymen, to launch programmes at each district and locality with high number of cases.
“The cleaning will be done at hotspots, low-cost apartments and construction sites, in addition to inspection being done at Kampung Baru Cina, drains and around parks and recreation areas,” he said.
