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.
