THERE has been a sharp spike in the number of dengue cases over the past few months, leading the authorities to issue a reminder yesterday about preventive action.
While dengue cases usually go up during the warmer months of May, June and July, the situation this year appears to be different.
The number of cases has gone up by 63 per cent, from an average of 66 per week in April to 108 per week last month.
This is a sharp contrast to the situation last year, which saw a much smaller percentage increase during the same period, said a spokesman for the National Environment Agency (NEA).
The rise in the number of cases coincides with an increase in breeding areas.
In particular, more homes have been found to be breeding places for mosquitoes, despite stepped-up checks from NEA officers and public education efforts.

Sincce the first recent flood and everyone laughing at him at the 'once every 50-year event', he don't even want to say anything now since then.

Sacrificing himself at the risk of being robbed and murdered by burden of collecting the millions of salary to serve peasants ? Chey.

Now keeping quiet and no more jokes about him, yet still carrying the burden to count the millions of dollar salary. Tough work for him. We should let him off the burden in this coming election.

cAN USE IN OPPOSITION manifesto...

Vote me..Sure no flood!

Whenever an MNC kicks someone out, the popular excuse given is that he/she wants to spend more time with the family.

If PAP has a "white horse" policy they can always hide them in a GLC & not in important positions that can cause so much damage.

Unfortunately for Spore, LKY's A-team was chosen not on the basis of talent but on loyalty(greed) so this Yacoob must be the best out of the rotten bunch
