NEA PENALTIES
From today (15 July 2020) onwards, homes with repeated mosquito breeding offences are going to face heavier penalties.
According to NEA:
Currently, households are issued a composition sum of $200 for mosquito breeding detected at their residential premises, regardless of the number of breeding habitats detected. Offenders are sent to Court for the fourth offence.
From 15 July 2020, the composition sum will be increased for premises detected with multiple mosquito breeding habitats within the same inspection, or where mosquito breeding has been detected even after a legal notice has been served within a dengue cluster area. Repeat offenders will also be given heftier penalties or sent to Court.
