Dear Residents,
There have been 2 reported cases of dengue at our condominium, at Tower H and Tower A, which resulted in the authorities declaring Villa Wangsamas as a dengue epidemic zone.
Despite repeated inspections, DBKL has not found any Aedes mosquito breeding grounds on our compound which leads them to believe that the breeding grounds could be inside the individual units.
As the next step, DBKL will be coming to Villa Wangsamas this Saturday 24 November 2012 between 8 am and 12 noon to conduct the following:
1) Briefing session at 9.00 am to promote awareness on dengue and its preventive and corrective measures. Residents are strongly encouraged to attend this briefing. It will be conducted at the Club House compound.
2) Fogging of each residential block from 8.00 am. The solution used is water-based which has been approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and is non hazardous to human beings. Unlike the conventional chemical-based solution, this chemical to be used is colourless, smokeless and almost odourless. We ask all residents to please open all doors and windows to allow the fog into your homes.
NOTE: Residents with medical conditions e.g. asthma, who may not wish to be around during this time, may do so but please ensure someone is at home to do the required.
3) Coordinating a "gotong royong" with residents after the briefing to clean up our compound of any possible Aedes mosquito breeding grounds. Residents are strongly encouraged to participate.
We would like to ask all residents to give their full cooperation and participation, in order to make Villa Wangsamas a safer place to live in. Those who require further clarification may approach the Management Office or email the JMC at vwm.jmc@gmail.com.
Thank you,
The JMC
