Battling diseases together: If houseowners are not home when Petaling Jaya City Council officers carry out their checks, a sticker will be placed on their gate informing them of the council's visit and urging them to call the vector unit if there are any mosquito breeding grounds in sight. A pamphlet educating residents on what to do and where to check is also being distributed.
