The state Health and Anti-Drug Committee chairman Rahmad Mariman said from the total, Melaka Tengah recorded the highest number of cases at 695, followed by Jasin and Alor Gajah . “A total of five deaths were recorded this year, with one case in Melaka Tengah and two each in Alor Gajah and Jasin. “We view seriously the increasing cases in the state. More effective measures will be carried out such as clean-up programmes as we can see many empty cans being dumped everywhere which can turn into breeding sites for Aedes mosquitoes,” he added.
