Malaysia reports rising dengue cases
The Malaysian Ministry of Health announced a sharp increase in dengue cases in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley area, with over 58,000 cases recorded since early August—representing a 56.2% increase compared to last year—along with 55 deaths. The surge was primarily concentrated in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Selangor, with case increases of 106% and 61%, respectively, compared to the same period last year. The Ministry attributed the rise to weather factors such as rainfall and hot weather, which promote mosquito breeding. Despite intensified prevention and control measures, the risk of infection remains high amidst the concerning national situation.
