It is undeniable that the government has tried to play their part in fighting this epidemic. However, the government's efforts alone are not sufficient. Singaporeans should actively try to participate and help fight against the dengue epidemic by being responsible citizens, playing their part in the fight against dengue.

Honestly, I do not think that most Singaporeans would be fazed even after reading this article. However, some Singaporeans would be more aware of stagnant water collecting around the neighbourhood and make an effort to get rid of it after the death of a Singaporean due to Dengue fever.

With a little information of the signs of dengue fever, this article is useful in helping Singaporeans spot it more quickly, allowing them to receive treatment immediately. With such impactful news, Singaporeans will cooperate since it is a threat to their own health and they have been known as “kiasi”.
