According to Izkandar, the contractor had requested for an extension of time (EOT) due to the project being delayed by the current wet weather. “The application is currently pending approval from SMC as the contractor has not submitted the data needed for the extension,” he told The Borneo Post yesterday.

SIBU (Feb 29): Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) will act tough on grass cutting contractors who failed to execute their work properly, warns its chairman Clarence Ting. This included holding their payment as penalty, he said. He said he was very disappointed when checking Jalan Gambir here in the rain recently. “I checked the road myself and all the grass is covered in water ponding. The situation at Jalan Gambir is just so bad with every turning being flooded. “I am so disappointed. After four years being the council chairman, this thing is not getting better but getting worse,” he said during the full council meeting here yesterday. Ting also said that at some places, the grass was taller than the road. “So after they cut the grass, the water cannot flow over the grass. “Second thing, I have been saying it for four years already that some contractors do not even have a hoe in their lorry. So how are they going to dig a drain for the water to flow? “I hope the Public Health, Environment and Municipal Services working committee in their meeting next month will come up with a formula to penalise the contractors. “This is not acceptable and cannot continue. We are accepting work that they were supposed to do but they did not do,” he stressed.

Ting (right) takes a closer look on the AMHS product. SIBU: Sibu Municipal Council (SMC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH), is trialling an ‘auto dissemination trap/device’ known as the Aedes Mosquito Home System (AMHS) at the Central Market here. SMC chairman Clarence Ting Ing Horth said this pioneering initiative aimed at combating the dengue threat and has shown promising results in West Malaysia. With 110 AMHS units procured, SMC becomes the first entity in Sarawak to adopt this approach. “The MoH will monitor the progress closely. Our goal is to gather data on the dengue situation within the Central Market vicinity and to mitigate the risk. Should the pilot prove successful, we plan to expand this initiative to other markets under our jurisdiction. “This initiative is groundbreaking within Sarawak, receiving MoH’s endorsement. Upon verifying its effectiveness, we’ll advocate for its residential use. The device is priced at RM23, with monthly refills costing RM13,” he told reporters after launching its installation at the market today (Feb 27). Ting (fifth from left) stands with councillors and health officials at the launch of the AMHS product. Additionally, Ting highlighted a concerning uptick in dengue fever cases within the Sibu Division during the eighth epidemiological week of 2024, reporting 15 cases — a rise from eight cases in the previous year. The cases were distributed across Sibu (six), Selangau (six), and Kanowit (three), with no fatalities or outbreaks reported this year. Efforts include community-driven activities to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds, along with fogging and larviciding to destroy mosquito larvae. Ting added on the AMHS’s functionality, designed to attract Aedes mosquitoes for egg-laying. “Upon contact with the insecticide-treated traps, adult mosquitoes disseminate the insecticide to other breeding sites, effectively reducing the larval population and preventing their maturation,” he said. The device, approved by the Pesticide Board (LRMP), is heralded as a safe addition to the anti-dengue arsenal. Ting urged the public to refrain from interfering with the traps to maximise their efficacy.

Ting (right) witnessing how the Aedes traps operate. Health Ministry has set up 110 units of Aedes mosquito auto dissemination trap devices at Sibu Central Market, Sarawak, as a measure to prevent dengue cases. “Our central market is the first in the state to be approached by the ministry for the placement of the device which cost RM36 each,” said Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) chairman Clarence Ting. The device is designed to bait Aedes mosquitoes searching for a place to lay eggs. After coming into contact with the insecticide inside these traps, the contaminated adult mosquitoes will carry the insecticide and spread it to other breeding sites, killing larvae there. According to Ting, the device had been proven to reduce dengue cases in peninsular Malaysia. “There are six reported dengue cases in Sibu so far this year. “We will try to reduce dengue cases. “If this (device) is successful, we will bring it to SMC’s other markets in April,” said Ting. Similarly, he said he would encourage residents to instal the device in their homes if it is proven effective.
