You throw, they breed
Residents in Zika hot spots worry that dumped rubbish becomes breeding sites for mosquitoes
Sep 12, 2016 6:00am
By Cynthia Choo
Newspapers, empty shoeboxes and even microwave ovens.
These are just some of the items Aljunied Crescent residents say they see under their void decks, even after the neighbourhood had been identified as a Zika hot spot.
Ms Sulaiha Ngatiman, 29, a housewife who is six months pregnant, told The New Paper she had expected residents to play their part in fighting Zika.
She said: “I can’t believe that people still leave these items under the blocks, knowing that litter can cause mosquitoes to breed.”
The mother of four children, aged 10, nine, seven and three, said: “I am afraid my children will get bitten.”

Premature to determine Zika’s impact on tourism, broader economy: MTI
By Tang See Kit, Channel NewsAsia

Updated 13 Sep 2016 14:42
SINGAPORE: It remains too early to tell if the Zika virus outbreak in Singapore will have any impact on the local tourism industry and, in turn, the broader economy, said Senior Minister of State at the Ministry for Trade and Industry, Sim Ann, in Parliament on Tuesday (Sep 13).
The Government is undertaking “strong coordinated actions” to contain the spread of the mosquito-borne virus and any possible spillover impact it could have on the economy, she said in response to questions from Nominated Members of Parliament (NMPs) Associate Professor Randolph Tan Gee Kwang and Thomas Chua Kee Seng.
As of Monday (Sep 12), there were 333 cases of locally transmitted Zika infections in Singapore. The first case – a 47-year-old Malaysian woman living at Aljunied Crescent – was confirmed more than two weeks ago.
Economists surveyed by Channel NewsAsia earlier believed that the spread of the mosquito-borne virus will not be a significant threat to the already-struggling economy. Mr Ravi Menon, managing director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), agreed but cautioned that it is “still early days” when it comes to determining what the impact might be.

Sufficient measures to prevent mosquitoes from breeding at construction sites: Masagos
By Lim Jia Qi

Updated 13 Sep 2016 19:18
SINGAPORE: There are currently sufficient measures to prevent mosquitoes from breeding at construction sites and the Government should not go overboard by implementing more measures, said Minister for Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli after delivering a parliamentary ministerial statement on the Zika outbreak on Tuesday (Sep 13).
Several Members of Parliament raised concerns about potential breeding spots in construction sites and whether more measures should be implemented to curb mosquito breeding.
MP for West Coast GRC Foo Mee Har asked if the Government is considering more stringent measures such as introducing a new regime that requires all construction contractors to engage an authorised pest controller to conduct independent checks and treatments at construction sites.
In response, Mr Masagos said the current measures are sufficient. He cited the Control of Vectors and Pesticides Act (CVPA) which allows the Government to impose Stop Work Orders for worksites repeatedly found with poor housekeeping and mosquito breeding habitats and the presence of Environmental Control Officers on site to ensure proper mosquito control measures in the construction sites.
