Anglican Diocesan Welfare Boards medical camp
KOTA KINABALU:
Early this year, the Anglican Diocese set up a Diocesan Welfare Board to further develop the social arm of the church and its first activity was to look into ways and means of helping their interior neighbours. To start with, it was decided to adopt Kampung Entilibon in the interior - a journey of over an hour using four-wheel drive vehicles from Telupid. A medical camp was organized on Sept 23. The medical team was also accompanied by three civil engineers and a developer to look into other ways and means to assist Kampung Entilibon. This project was carried out in collaboration with the Medical Department comprising eight specialists, four dentists and four medical officers, an optometrist and pharmacist, six nurses including four dental nurses, 20 general volunteers and 12 four-wheel drive drivers. The specialised services provided included skin, eye, ear, nose and throat, women and children and general surgery. The medical team screened 426 residents of the kampung and surrounding areas for diabetes and hypertension and 30 newly diagnosed cases were referred to the Telupid Clinic for long-term management. All the children were de-wormed.
One hundred and ten reading spectacles were distributed after eye screening, 46 eligible women had pap smears done and 53 teeth were extracted by the dentists. The recommendatons of the engineers for water supply connection and church repair work will also be looked into.

MONDAY-3RD DECEMBER 2007-MODEL IS REMANDED
MODEL IS REMANDED
KOTA KINABALU:
A 21-year-old part-time model has been remanded for three days until Tuesday as police continue their investigation into the death of a son of State Assemblyman Datuk Amir Kahar Tun Mustapha. Magistrate Richard Isidore issued the remand order when the college student was produced before him at the district police headquarters in Karamunsing about 10.3Oam yesterday. The woman was represented by counsel Ram Singh who later told reporters that apart from his client, police also recorded statements from her mother, elder sister and father late Saturday. He said police were investigating the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. Datu Azlan Amir Kahar, 24, was taken from his fiancee’s family home at Taman BPL in Kepayan Ridge to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) where he was pronounced dead on arrival early Saturday morning.
According to a relative who spoke on behalf of the deceased’s father, the fiancee’s mother had called around 7am on Saturday to inform Azlan’s mother, Datin Aminah Ambrose, that he had died of a stroke. The relative however noted that they were informed that the reason for Azlan’s death given in the fiancee’s police statement was due to self-inflicted wounds. Azlan’s relatives also sensed something was amiss when they saw deep gashes and multiple wounds as well as bite marks on the victim’s head and arms, when claiming the body from the QEH mortuary after the post-mortem. Azlan, a business student at Inti College, had gone to his fiancee’s house on Friday night. He was buried on Saturday evening near the Tun Mustapha monument, erected in honour of his late grandfather, in Kampung Ulu Putatan near here. When contacted yesterday, acting city police chief Superintendent Rowel Marong said the police were investigating the case from all possible angles. However, he declined to reveal any details as they had yet to complete their investigations. “We are covering all angles in our investigation. While the post-mortem has been completed, we are still waiting for the full report from the chemist’s department. “The victim’s fiancee is still being detained to facilitate investigations but if all goes well, we expect to be able to release her on bail tomorrow (today),” he said. The police have only detained the 21-year-old woman in connection with the case.
