Mosquitoes may be the bane of many Singaporeans’ lives but Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong didn’t bat an eyelid when he got up close and personal with a scourge of them on Tuesday (Sept 15).
Documenting his visit to the Environmental Health Institute on his Instagram Stories, PM Lee shared a behind-the-scenes look at the facility, which produces Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes to fight dengue.
As part of his visit, he got a close-up look at the mosquitoes and had a go at a nifty-looking mozzie launcher.

However, the mozzies did not seem to be taking the bait, prompting PM Lee to quip: “I’m not tasty enough!”
Of course, the insects’ lack of interest probably has more to do with the fact that male mosquitoes do not bite.
