| State intensifies war against dengue Posted: 22 Jul 2011 01:46 AM PDT KUALA TERENGGANU: The state Health department had issued RM345,000 worth of fines this year as part of its enforcement effort to curb the dengue menace. Department director Dr Nordiyanah Hasan said between January and June, a total of 4,418 notices of cleanliness have been issued to premises, which failed to meet the standard set by the department. "The number of Dengue cases have drop some 18%, whereby 370 cases are recorded this year compared to 454 in the same period last year. "The reductions is much owed to our tough enforcement effort," she said during Asean Dengue celebration in Pasir Panjang here recently. She added that dengue infested area has also been reduced by 33%, whereby only Kampung Duyung Besar was identified as the worst hit with 17 cases. "We also identified four other hotspots, which are Kuala Ibai, Gong Tok Nasek, Tok Adis and Bukit Besar," she said. Dr Nurdiyanah said slapping offeders with fines is always the last resort as the department would give ample warning for the premise owners to clean-up. "We need the cooperation of the local community in combating dengue and preventing the Aedes mosquito breeding. "We also encourage non-governmental organisations to pitch in the effort as well," she said. Dr Nurdiyanah said volunteers from the locals were roped in by the department in spreading more awareness on the dengue. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search. |

The challenge series introduced in 2006 by the Portuguese-Eurasian community to galvanize efforts to bring back the glory p laying days of the 60's and 70's, witnessed PYFC coming up against an invited Singapore outfit comprising mostly of community members. In the recent encounter played at the St. Francis Institution ground in Banda Hilir, PYFC triumphed with a brace from Phillipo Estell and a goal each by Jeremy De Costa and Song Rigobert. Local side's goalkeeper Adderly Lopez bagged the Player of the Mach award. The brainchild of the late Christie Shepherdson a former state regular in the Malaysia Cup series in the 1960's, the PYFC based at the Portuguese Settlement in Ujong Pasir was formed in 2002. Presently, the PYFC boasts of a 45-strong training squad comprising community players between 15 and 45 years old. In recent years, Simon began inviting Malay, Chinese, Indian potentials living around the settlement to join training sessions. This was before African, East Timorese and English players attached to local institutes of higher learning and international schools were also enlisted to beef up PYFC while participting in domestic competitions organised by the Malacca Football Association (MFA). The notable foreign talents donning PYFC colours for the last two years include Nigerian Phillipo Estell, Cameroon's Song Rigobert, East Timorese's Vidigal Torres and Malino Jakita and English youth Jake Parish.

The team also captured top honours in the 2009 Banda Hilir state constituency football tournament and will be in the fray when the local league gets underway after Hari Raya. The PYFC is also in the preliminary stage of wokring out details on a collaboration with a youth team from Portugal for a series of annual matches on both home and away basis.
