?It is important that not only for the Government to increase resources and strengthen the work of the Food & Environmental Hygiene Department in terms of rodent and mosquito control, but we also appeal to the public to pay attention to their own hygiene.?

The department is using new technologies to wash streets and to keep the community clean, she added.
