史里肯邦安治安问题日益严重，有待解决，联邦村委会治安队重新出发，并组成民间巡逻与防范罪案队伍，以协助警方维护本区的治安。治安问题类似攫夺、打劫及偷窃案是被归纳为暴力案件，比较难被完全解决，更不用说是预防这种罪案发生，因为小偷及罪犯们已经趋向职业化。所有全面打击罪案的发生是现今一项非常迫切及合时宜的首要工作，以及是政府，警方和社区民间的重要责任。

治安问题是国家重要的课题，它也危害人民的安全。面对治安问题，防范罪案的工作是一项有效的策略。防范罪案的意识应该要加强。史里肯邦安成为罪案频频发生的地区，所以各方面都有责任去解决问题。其实联邦村委会治安队早在2006年已成立。治安队的宗旨是维护区域的治安，提升人民对防范的意识，也通过社会教育提升人民对罪案的认识，提高民众对周遭环境的醒觉度，以及知道如何去避免罪案的发生。 同时也鼓励居民维持及照顾本身区域的治安，打造安全社会，乡村及家园，并提供资讯给警方，与警方合作，让警方有效解决罪案的问题。除此之外，也鼓励民间邻居之间的亲善与友好关系，确保区内不会有陌生人潜入制造地方罪案。

联邦村委会主席俞彩亮博士在发布会说只要居民给予协助，警方一定能打击罪案。他希望居民不要等罪案发生才想到警方，应该在发现任何可疑人物或非法外来者出现在住家附近时，就赶紧向警方投报。

俞彩亮博士也补充，目前经济不景气，社会治安有待改善，许多住宅区都面对打枪，偷窃，等问题。提升社区居民对罪案的认识已及做足防范的工作，同时也要通过各种社会教育的工作，加强邻里间的认识以及促进社区友好及亲善团结关系才能在防范罪案方面，取得效果。

联邦村委会治安队民间巡逻与防范罪案队伍重新出发的目的是要改善当地的治安情况，以维护社区的安全让居民安心。民间巡逻与罪案防范的工作，强调人民之间有共同和谐的重要性，因为只有互相协助及发挥守望相助的精神，罪案才能逐渐减少。并一再强调社区居民团结，和睦共处，以便能够塑造一个团结及和平的社会。打击罪案的发生，以维护本区的治安。

出席发布会的联邦村委会成员有叶伟德（副主席）和刘彦男（秘书），联邦村委会属下治安队成员有吴军龙（大队长），张国专（副大队长），黄有祥（行动组主任），叶志威（交通组主任），，黎玉郎（行动组副主任），，张炳财（训练组-教官），等。

博特拉大学“回馈”与沙登史里肯邦安青年之友交流

(沙登28日讯）博特拉大学第十六届博大青年回馈社会计划“回馈”的执委与组员出席并与沙登史里肯邦安青年之友进行了交流。

未来将有更多的合作机会和空间，以便可以和博特拉大学“回馈”携手，推广青年回馈社会计划到每个年轻人的身上。青年人才众多，往往都没有一个适合的平台来发挥他们的所长，所以希望借助这个平台能够让所有的青年有机会加入并发扬。

此次沙登沙登史里肯邦安青年之友与博特拉大学“回馈”的合作，希望是一个良好桥梁，把所有的沙登“才子”云集一堂，积极推广，协助推动沙登成为一个道道地地的文化中心，勉励有兴趣的年青人加入，把最好的赋展现出来，并让自己有机会，发光发热。

出席以上的嘉宾也包括华区会秘书兼沙登青年之友顾问俞彩亮博士,史里肯邦安青年之友团长郑永田，联邦村委会副主席叶伟德硕士，博大“回馈”前任主席潘丽妮，林雪华等。

马华区会秘书兼沙登青年之友顾问俞彩亮博士在致词上祝贺博大“回馈”多年来成功主办多项活动，并赞扬博大一班大学生为沙登新村所做出的贡献和付出。他也说，大学生应多参与社区活动。“回馈”多年来为沙登新村学子做了不少的贡献。他们在这十五年来不间段筹办辅导班，舞台演出，生活营等活动，其精神值得社会人士赞扬和成为其他大学生的典范。沙登青年之友与博特拉大学合作的空间，可以涵盖其他事项如教育等。俞彩亮博士说沙登新村的地理优势是能与博特拉大学为邻，也为此村在教育方面带来益处。由于地点靠近博特拉大学，多年来获得博大华裔大专生的辅助，教育水平也逐渐提升。沙登新村更出现了更多大学生，知识分子和专业人士。

俞彩亮强调说，希望将来沙登与博特拉大学能够建立起一个联络与交流的平台，并通过运用大学生的资源和影响力，全面提升新村孩子的教育水平与人文素质，让每一位学生能够至少达到中五毕业，也让更多学生能进入大专学府，考获学士，硕士和博士学位。更让新村年青的一代对电脑，资讯工艺和新科技有更深的认识。人民的生活素质与竞争能力也能逐渐提高，以面向国际化时代的到来。

此外，俞彩亮也鼓励博特拉大学生能积极参与沙登的活动，也协助推动沙登的文化教育。通过参与沙登的活动，大学生不但能回馈社会，而且能提升本身对社会的认识，亲身体验种种社会问题，了解民间生活百态，培养一群拥有丰富社会经验，能独立思考，关怀社会，及有服务社会精神的大学生。

俞彩亮博士补充说，“回馈”扮演重要的角色，提供平台给大学生融入社会。通过参与沙登的活动，大学生不但能回馈社会，而且能提升本身对社会的认识，亲身体验种种社会问题，了解民间生活百态，培养一群拥有丰富社会经验，能独立思考，关怀社会，及有服务社会精神的大学生。

俞彩亮博士说沙登新村的地理优势是能与博特拉大学为邻。由于沙登新村的地点靠近博特拉大学，他希望将来沙登与博特拉大学能够建立起一个联络与交流的平台，并通过运用大学生的资源和影响力，全面提升新村孩子的教育水平与人文素质，让更多学生能够进入大专学府，考获学士，硕士和博士学位。更让新村年青的一代对电脑，资讯工艺和新科技有更深的认识。人民的生活素质与竞争能力也能逐渐提高，以面向国际化时代的到来。

博大青年回馈主席何淑芳致词时说，“回馈”成立于1993年，至今已有十五年了。回馈社会是一种持续的工作，需要很大的动力。希望未来将有更多大学生参加，以加强大学生和沙登区居民之间的联系，并协助沙登新村的村民们提升学术与教育意识。，，，

史里肯邦安青年之友团长郑永田在致词上祝贺及感谢“博大回馈”，多年来在沙登所付出的无私奉献及回馈。他说身边很多当地的朋友及同学都参与过博大回馈所举办的活动，帮助过不少当地的青少年及需要帮助的人。所以青年之友应该扮演重要的角色，以便在未来的日子里推动更多的青年活动，充实及扩大青年的视野，以便可以云集年轻人的力量，为国家做出贡献。现代的青年缺乏社会意识，对外的活动都很抗拒。他勉励青年多参与社区的活动，为国家注入更多新血，协助推动国家的政策。

Mosquito Aedes is our enemy

Let's fight dengue together.

Eliminate mosquito aedes

by fogging

The Asian tiger mosquito or forest day mosquito (Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus), from the mosquito family Culicidae, is characterized by its black and white striped legs, and small black and white body. It is native to the tropical and subtropical areas of Southeast Asia; however, in the past couple of decades this species has invaded many countries throughout the world through the transport of goods and increasing international travel. This mosquito has become a significant pest in many communities because it closely associates with humans (rather than living in wetlands), and typically flies and feeds in the daytime in addition to at dusk and dawn.

Habitat
Asian tiger mosquitoes occur in urban, suburban and rural regions. They can also exist in woodlands, particularly on the outer fringe close to human settlements and in secondary forests. You will very seldom find them in vegetation poor biotypes.

Diet and Host Location
Like other mosquito species, only the females require a blood meal to develop their eggs. Apart from that, they receive their energy demand from nectar and other sweet plant juices just as the males do. In regards to host location, Carbon Dioxide and organic substances produced from the host, humidity, and optical recognition play important roles.
The search for a host takes place in two phases. First, the mosquito exhibits a nonspecific searching behavior until the perception of host stimulants which is then followed by a targeted approach For catching tiger mosquitoes with special traps, carbon dioxide and a combination of chemicals that naturally occur in human skin are the most attractive. The Asian tiger mosquito particularly bites during the day. Depending upon region and biotype there are differing active peaks but for the most part they rest during the morning and night hours. They search for their hosts inside and outside of human dwellings, but are particularly active outside. The size of the blood meal depends upon the size of the mosquito, but it is usually around 2 microliters μl.

Role as Disease VectorsIt is known that Aedes albopictus can transmit pathogens and viruses, such as, the West Nile Virus, Yellow fever virus, St. Louis Encephalitis, Dengue fever, and Chikungunya fever to name a few.

Control and Suppression

Aedes albopictus has proven to be very difficult to suppress or to control due to their remarkable ability to adapt to various environments, their close contact with humans, and their reproductive biology.

Efficient monitoring or surveillance is essential to prevent the spread and establishment of the species. In addition to the monitoring of ports, warehouses with imported plants, and stockpiles of tires, rest areas on highways and train stations should be monitored with appropriate methods.

So called Ovitraps are normally used for the monitoring or control of possible breeding waters of Aedes albopictus. They are black water containers with floating Styrofoam blocks or small wooden paddles that are in contact with the surface of the water. Female tiger mosquitoes that are present in the area lay their eggs on these surfaces. Through the identification of these eggs or of the larvae that hatch from these eggs in the laboratory the presence and abundance of mosquito species can be detected. Versions of these traps with an adhesive film (sticky traps) that catch the egg depositing mosquitoes are more complicated in terms of handling. The results are variable and depend on the availability of alternative egg depositing waters. Due to this, it would be best to use them in large numbers and in conjunction with other monitoring methods.

To date, there are not many effective traps for the Asian tiger mosquito and those traps that catch other species of mosquitoes do not adequately catch tiger mosquitoes. In the meantime, a new trap has appeared that has been proven to catch Aedes albopictus significantly well. This device, with the help of a ventilator, produces an upward air current of Ammonia, fatty acids, and lactic acids that takes a similar form and smell of a human body. With the addition of carbon dioxide, the efficacy of the trap is increased. This means there is a suitable tool available for trapping tiger mosquitoes and, for example, examining the existence of viruses in the trapped mosquitoes. Previously, the anthropophilic mosquitoes had to be collected off of volunteers to be studied, which is in itself an ethically questionable method especially during epidemics.

The control of the Asian tiger mosquito begins with the emptying or the overturning of possible breeding waters such as water filled containers. Flower pots, standing flower vases, knotholes and other crevices that can collect water should be filled with sand or fine gravel to prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs in them. Otherwise have stagnant water treated with larvicides (such as Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, BTI) or insecticides.

Efforts to curb the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses have led many government agencies to initiate programs to spray for mosquito control. This mosquito is active in the daytime, not just after dawn and just before dusk as most indigenous mosquito species, and so is a likely culprit if people or pets are being bitten in the daytime. Most mosquito spraying done at night will have little effect on Asian tiger mosquitoes.

It is however, possible to find and deal with the breeding spots, which are never far from where people are being bitten, since this is a weak flyer, with only about a 200-yard lifetime flying radius. Locate puddles that last more than three days, sagging or plugged roof gutters, old tires holding water, litter, bird baths, kiddie pools, inlets to sewers and drainage systems holding stagnant water and any other possible containers or pools of standing water. Flowing water will not be a breeding spot and water that contains minnows is not usually a problem, because the fish eat the mosquito larvae. Dragonflies are also an excellent method of imposing control. Dragonfly larvae eat mosquito larvae in the water, and adults will snatch adult mosquitoes as they fly. Insecticide application that also kills dragonflies may actually cause only a brief suppression of mosquitoes, followed by a long term increase in populations.

Whenever possible, all sources of standing water, even if only a quarter cup, should be dumped every three days. Litter, especially containers in ditches, can hold water after the ditch dries up, and all litter should be cleaned up. Bird baths, wading pools, and any other containers that can hold rainwater should be emptied.

Any standing water in pools, catchment basins, etc, that cannot be drained, or dumped, can be periodically treated with properly labeled insecticides often formed into doughnut shaped "mosquito dunks." The BTI disease organism only affects pest insects. While floating or tied to a small weight, they slowly release a long term biological mosquito larvicide killing the larvae young mosquitos before they hatch into adults reportedly without affecting fish, plants, people or wildlife. It is readily available at farm, garden, and pool suppliers.

Effective Way To Control Mosquito Bites

Effective Way To Control Mosquito Bites

The most effective way not to get any mosquito bites is understanding mosquitoes and then doing as much as possible to prevent them from biting you.

Indoor mosquito control

Knowledge you say? You most likely know that only female mosquitoes bite, but what do you do with that knowledge when you are am indoors?

The above knowledge is more for researchers and mosquito killing on a large scale, when it comes to indoor mosquito control: you need to know how to keep those few mosquitoes out of your house.

Because it only takes one Aedes Mosquito bite to give you dengue fever…
Indoor mosquito repellent

It’s ideal to kill a mosquito when you see it but can’t squash it with your bare hands.
The disadvantage is the odor of the repellent : if the spray kills mosquitoes, how harmful is it for you?

Mosquito netting

A harmless and easy way to protect yourself against mosquitoes is using mosquito netting: the natural draft in your house will be reduced… That’s true, yet a ventilator solves that problem

Mosquito netting and indoor mosquito repellent
Using a very slow release indoor mosquito repellent will help. And mosquito oil/lotion to prevent mosquito bites.
