SIBU: Miri MP Dr Michael Teo Yu Keng’s suggestion of using Penang as an example of good management on how Sarawak should address the rabies problem might not be justified.
Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah was reacting to Dr Teo’s suggestion that Sarawak should emulate measures of mandatory mass-vaccinations, humane capture, quarantine and culling taken by Penang in stopping the spread of rabies in the state two years ago.
The Miri MP had further mentioned that the disease has already claimed 12 lives in Sarawak and mass vaccination did not stop the outbreak which has becoming worrying.
