DearSir
I refer to your email feedback as appended below
In our recent check on 6 Jun 07 although no mosquito breeding was detected in the drain , potential habitats such as discarded containers found in the vicinity were removed immediately. We had also alerted to PUB to spruce up the road side drains and the Town Council to cleanse the HDB drains.We are continuing our close surveillance of the estate
We will continue to work with all parties concerned to ensure a safe and clean environment and monitor the site closely.
Please contact our Manager of the area Mr Nordin Sulaiman at Tel 68546443 should you need further assistance.
Thank you for your feedback.
Sincere regards

Hi,
Attached are fotos taken of the drain in front of Blk 52 Sims Place last Thurs (24 May 07).
Sims Drive/Sims Place has been a dengue cluster for quite a number of weeks and the areas have been expanding. There's a lot of mosquitoes in the area, and from the condition of the drains there, it seems as though the drains are the cause of the presence of mosquitoes.Weird that no one has cleaned up the drains yet.
