Dengue ‘Fever’ in Pontianak

RESIDENTS of Pontianak in West Kalimantan are uneasy due to the increasing dengue fever epidemic that has caused many victims.

“Just because of a sudden high fever, people can die,” said Nuni, a resident whose husband had just died because of the fever.

Last week, Nizar, son of the Chairman of the Pontianak General Elections Commission (KPU) Viryan Azis, also died from dengue fever.
