This morning 25 Dec 2014 starting at 7.30 am, I attended the Gotong Royong program on behalf of Ipoh City Watch. The event was organized by Ipoh City Council in collaboration with State Health Department to fight dengue which has taken 2 lives thus far. It was well attended by over 100 local residents, Ipoh Council staff and other local leaders. The head of the program was Clr Mazlan who is instrumental in helping Zone 11.
My wife and I together with Dr. Hairul and Matron Rakiah and other medical assistants walked from door to door equipped with brochures and abate to help campaign to prevent the spread of aedes. By 10.30am we managed to cover about 200 houses.
We also took pictures of illegal dump sites and over grown grass and reported the matter to Clr Mazlan who then instructed MBI officers present to take immediate actions.
It was a very fulfilling day for me and my wife having sacrificed our Christmas celebration to participate in this program. Saving lives is more important and critical to us.
