"Dengue."
Singapore faces a new battle as more dengue cases emerge. 2004 had the highest annual number of cases on record with over 9,400 cases.
The year 2005 is fast overtaking that number with a sharp increase in cases since May this year.
The World Health Organisation estimates that there might be 50 million cases of dengue infection worldwide every year.
In its continuing bid to curb the spread of dengue, Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) launched a hotline on Tuesday, September 13 to get the public into the act and help fight dengue.
The hotline will provide the public additional channels to inform NEA of any potential breeding sites spotted.
The hotline, manned round the clock by a team of trained NEA officers, will be take feedback on breeding sites, and provide information and advice to the public on dengue preventive measures.
