The Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association has objected to the field tests for the transgenic or genetically modified male mosquitoes to control the population of aedes, saying that it is not confident in the effectiveness of the method. Its secretary-general, Muhammad Sha'ani Abdullah said the transgenic mosquito technology was still new in Malaysia and the genetically modified mosquito would probably turn into a more fierce disease vector or carrier.
