Our neighbour down with Dengue


One of our neighbour at Jururancang U1/61B had been admitted due to dengue. May he recover soon.
Be careful.

The Ministry of Health supposed to do a fogging. Let us know if you have seen them.

The dengue mosquito likes to bite 2 hours after sunrise and at dusk and they like to bite indoors.  So do take the necessary measures to protect yourself and your family.

If you have a high fever and severe bodyache, please seek medical advise. We are now able to do a blood test that can detect Dengue from the first day of the fever if necessary.


Characteristics of Dengue Fever:
  • Fever that lasts for 2 to 7 days
  • Severe muscle ache, headache and joint pains
  • Rash appearing after the fever subsides usually after the 5th day. The rash may look like a measles types rash. There may also be some pin point red spots known as petechiae that may appear.
  • Abdominal discomfort

  1. So far, no fogging had been done. Anyone know why? Who is responsible to report to the 'right authority'? Any idea?

  3. We complained to MBSA on 13rd and they came to fog the area on 14th May (6pm). MBSA even call me to report status just now. Very efficient indeed.
