SINGAPORE : Singapore has established a bird flu control system for its bird flu pilot project in Indonesia's Tangerang city.

Charun Sopandi, head of the husbandry division at Tangerang's municipal agriculture and husbandry office, said two volunteers would be stationed at each of the more than 100 villages.

They would get first-hand information on suspected bird flu sufferers, and would then inform the city administration and the central government of suspected bird flu cases for quick treatment.

The Indonesian official said Singapore has also provided Tangerang with 208 motorcycles, 13 disinfectant sprayers and two computers equipped with special programmes to record bird flu cases. - CNA /ls
