Sex stimulants sold openly in KK – rep

Posted on June 20, 2013, Thursday
KOTA KINABALU: Activists have voiced their concern over the rampant sale of sex stimulants and toys at the city sidewalks and in several other towns, blaming it on the increase in social ills in the state, according to Kiulu assemblyman Datuk Joniston Bangkuai.
Among these items were flavoured condoms and sexual enhancement drugs, he said when debating the Head of State Tun Juhar Mahiruddin’s policy speech during the 14th State Assembly sitting yesterday.
Joniston told the House that these stimulants were being sold near cheap hotels or lodging houses.
“A social activist, who is also a a medical practitioner, has recently voiced his concern over the sale of these items openly at the sidewalks of the city.
“He fears that these would contribute and lead to the increase in social ills and sex crimes such as rape, involving underage girls, pre-marital sex and worst, baby dumping.
“Some quarters may view this as a minor problem, but if left unchecked, it can lead to serious social problems,” he stressed.
On another matter, Joniston suggested that fire extinguishers be provided to rural families living far from fire stations, describing it as so much cheaper than re-building a burnt house.
“A fire extinguisher costs about RM160. It is just a minor expenditure compared to the cost of rebuilding a house and property costing about RM50,000 to RM100,000. I believe it is more practical to provide them with fire extinguishers so they would be able to act should a fire break out,” he said.
He noted that there were three fire incidents over the past two months in his constituency, located some 40kms from the city.
Joniston also proposed for affordable homes to be built in the outskirts and rural areas, rather than concentrating them in urban areas only.
“We would also appreciate if the government would consider the construction of Housing Project for the Hardcore Poor (PPRT) as many of the constituents in my area are living in dilapidated homes,” he said.
The first-time assemblyman also called on the government to allocate funds for the upgrading and repair of 72 suspension bridges in several villages within his constituency, and also to upgrade the 120-kilometre gravel stretch and 173-kilometre earth road.
He also touched on the outreach programme to help those in need, especially the elderly, particularly recipients of the Elderly People’s Aid (or BOT, in short), and proposed that the Welfare Services Department officers in Tamparuli set up a booth to hand out the assistance rather than to wait for these people to come to the office.
“Most of them are weak and sick, so I do not see any reason why the department officers and personnel cannot go out, set up a booth nearer to the recipients’ houses to hand out the assistance,” he said.
Meanwhile, Joniston also called for the setting up of a training institute that specialises in training community leaders at the grassroots such as Village Security and Development Committee (JKKK) to expose them to effective administration and management courses to ensure a smooth implementation of projects in the rural areas.
“They may learn skills such as record management, how to produce working papers to apply for projects, as well as to master information and communication technology (ICT) so they would be able to work with the assemblymen, government departments and agencies, and district offices through e-government,” he said.
