Boey: Hold anti-Aedes drive

SUNGAI PETANI: All the 15 MCA Youth divisions in the state have been urged to hold anti-Aedes campaigns and seminars to create public awareness in view of the dengue outbreak.  

Holding on to the adage that prevention is better than cure, Kedah MCA Youth chief Boey Chin Gan urged the divisions to hold seminars at all schools in the state.  

“Everybody, including pupils, should play a role in preventing a dengue outbreak even though it has not reached an alarming level in Kedah,” he said when launching an anti-Aedes campaign organised by Sungai Petani MCA Youth division at SRJK(C) Sin Kwang yesterday.

Boey said he would make the campaign an important agenda and would be discussing the matter at the state MCA Youth meeting soon.
