'Over-crowded' Henry Gurney Keningau hit by scabies, claims activist

By Pluto James

KOTA KINABALU: The Henry Gurney  correctional school in Keningau has suffered an outbreak of scabies - as serious skin infection, a Sabah-based human rights activist claimed Monday.

Most of the juvenile delinquents in the school are suffering from scabies so much so the clothing of the scabies-infected inmates have to be washed in boiling water every three day, in an effort to stem the spread of the skin disease.

Kanul Gindol (photo), who is also a political activist said he had also received reports that for a long time now, there is not enough clean water made available to the juveniles so much so that their health has been compromised.

KOTA BELUD : A local NGO, Gindol Initiative for Civil Society Borneo, will host a simple World Habitat Day gathering at a remote kampung in Sabah this Monday, Oct 7, 2013.

Spokesman of the NGO, Kanul Gindol, said the half-an hour observation of the world-wide United Nations' sanctioned day would start at 4pm beneath an old durian tree in the Dusun kampung near here.

"We have invited local leaders like our assemblyman Jeremmy Ukoh Malajad and Sabah's human right and consumer activist Patrick Sindu to deliver relevant messages on that day.

Send Kanul to Parliament, pleads Patrick Sindu

parliamentary area to vote for Kanul Gindol
PAPAR : As a veteran activist in Malaysia, I felt called to support fellow consumer and political activist, Kanul Gindol, who as an independent candidate is seeking to be elected Kota Belud member of parliament this Sunday polling.

I for one as an activist fully support what Kanul has been trying to do all these years, getting himself into Malaysian Parliament. We now have a chance to send him into Parliament via the Kota Belud seat.

I have known Kanul for many years and he would make the best parliamentarian not only for all Sabahans but Sarawakians too, and on top of that as a fearless mouthpiece for non-governmenatl organisations (NGO) and the marginalised.

There is need to increase Christian reps, says Kanul

KOTA BELUD : There is a need to increase the number of Christian parliamentarians as the group was currently under-represented, claimed an independent candidate for the Kota Belud parliamentary seat here.

Kanul Gindol, 47, said there could well be less than 10 percent Christian MPs in Malaysia's Parliament, thus this had helped put Christians here vulnerable to exploitations and bullying by the larger blocks.

"A huge majority of the total 222 parliamentary seats in Parliament are already occupied by Muslim MPs as well as the Chinese leaders.

SUHAKAM Report on impacts of 50 Years of BN rule on Natives

Independent candidate for Kota Belud
constituency, Kanul Gindol
KOTA BELUD : Journalist-activist Kanul Gindol, who is standing for election in May 5 general election, has called on the Federal and State Governments to immediately release SUHAKAM Report on Impacts of 50 Years BN Rule On Natives.
We have been made to understand that the UMNO-led ruling party Barisan Nasional  suppressed the release of SUHAKAM's Report fearing its backlash ahead of the national election.

Kanul, 47, is an independent candidate using "key" as his symbol seeking to be elected as parliamentarian for Kota Belud.

Five-cornered fight in Kota Belud may give surprising results

Kanul Gindol is contesting in Kota Belud
parliamentary under BEBAS ticket.
KOTA BELUD : Journalist-activist Kanul Gindol, 47, who is vying for Kota Belud parliamentary seat is the only Christian candidate in the five-cornered tussle for the hot seat.
Local observers said this situation might pose "hiccups" in the attempts by all three parties contesting -- Barisan Nasional, PKR as wells as STAR -- to get the already-agitated Christian voters in the area.
Worried most are BN and PKR, with STAR already going around to explain why a muslim had been picked instead for Kota Belud after the party earlier picked another muslim candidate, Majimis Timbuong, for the adjacent Kota Marudu parliamentary seat, an overwhelmingly Christian area.

High stakes ‘gamble’ in Sabah politics

Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim is unperturbed by the
aborted plans of two BN MPs who were supposed to
announce their defection yesterday.
By Joseph Tawie and Joseph Bingkasan of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah politics is all about hanging on to power and the latest postponement of the over-hyped “pullout” from the Barisan Nasional by two government MPs facing the axe in the coming general election stressed this.
