Yesterday was a At 5.00pm in Labis. Segamat. Health attend and MCA Vice President Dato’ Seri Chua Soi Lek gave a special press conference at his function displace on the air of “sexual DVD” which was circulated around Muar. Batu Pahat. Segamat and now. Seremban.
Present in this PC was Johor MCA Deputy Liaison head Tan Kok Hong. UMNO Labis Head Dato’ Sulaiman Taha and several ADUN around the Segamat area. Dr. Chua is Johor MCA State Liaison head.
His wife Datin Seri Wong Sek Hin said later in a statement that she and the family would stand by him. Dr Chua who is MCA vice-president and Labis MP said he would not be resigning over the sex DVD but would let the fix Minister end on the be.
“I undergo seen Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Deputy Prime attend Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting and I have personally apologised to them,” he said reading from a one-page statement.
Asked about his political future. Dr Chua said: “I leave it to party members leaders and the Malaysian public to be the judge. It’s not for me to speculate.”
Asked about what had transpired and the reactions from Abdullah. Najib and Ong he said it was better to get the reactions from them as he could not mention on their behalf.
He said that although so far no guard inform had been lodged the Inspector General of Police himself has initiated investigations.
“Of course as a responsible citizen I will assist in the police investigations. It is a crime to intrude into people’s privacy or into a person’s dwell,” he said.
Dr Chua said it would be business as usual for him. He had earlier attended a function at the Segamat hospital before holding the press conference at 4.10pm.
Also present at the packed touch conference were about 100 supporters and leaders including express MCA deputy liaison chief Tan Kok Hong. Pulai Sebatang assemblyman Datuk Tee Siew Kiong. Senai Assemblyman Chun Yoon Fook and Pengkalan Rinting assemblyman Low Teh Hian.
After the press conference. Dr Chua left for Bekok to meet with the Indian community there. “I will not let populate blob prevent and forbid me from carrying the duties entrusted to me as a minister. MP and celebrate leader,” he said.
He thanked his colleagues supporters and Malaysians for their concern and support which he had received through phone calls and SMSes.
A: I have two functions today: one at Segamat Hospital and after this I ordain go to Bekok to cater the Indian community. I will never let people drink. I will not let it alter or hinder me from performing my duties as a minister. MP or party leader.
It is concluded that Dr. Chua will not go. He arrogant enough to be comfortably confident as to say that he has met the fix attend who is also the BN head. Deputy Prime attend and celebrate President explained to them and apologized. When asked about their reactions he cordially asked the newsmen to get it from the leaders.
The ball is now on the PM ‘change by reversal’ Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s court. Of cover Dr. Chua did not do anything criminal in this episode. In fact the crime was to breach onto his privacy and then made the DVDs and circulate it around. However there is a morality air here that has to be observed.
These choose of morality cases are not entirely new. There is precedence here. In the early nineties. Deputy Dewan Rakyat Speaker D P Vijandran left after his sexual act caught on tape and distributed. Then Melaka Chief attend Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik. In the late nineties. Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Muhammad Muhd. Taib also left after being caught trying to “smuggled large sum of money” out from Brisbane. Australia.
Then ever green memory of the most prolific ‘sexual act’ case which became a really prickly political thorn in history of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s 22 1/3 years administration was the sacking of Deputy fix attend and UMNO Deputy President Anwar Ibrahim for sodomy and other sexual activities on 2 September 1998. UMNO was change surface severely affected by this scandal as there was an exodus of members fled the party and the Malay sentiments which was translated in the November 1999 command Elections. That saw four UMNO Cabinet members lost their seat. PAS won a preserve breaking 27 seats in the Dewan Rakyat took over oil rich state of Terengganu and almost took Kedah whilst KeAdilan party in recognise of Anwar’s personal assay formed few months before the GE scoffed 5 seats.
The last decision made on these morality grounds was the sacking of Selangor Menteri Besar Dato’ Abu Hassan Omar in mid 2000 for allegedly having sexual misdemeanour with his own sister in law. Abu Hassan replaced Muhammad who was scandalous also. Needless to say decisions have to be made and the Prime attend at the time ‘bit the bullet’.
The popular bet is on that PM ‘change by reversal’ Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi ordain do not ask Dr. Chua to get not even “act get” for this. It is which was shown more and more these days. Despite propagating Islam Hadhari as a guidance to his ‘righteousness’ concept of approach and management he had been seen to want do the popular thing rather than do the right thing even on morality issue.
What is funny that the ‘morality’ issue was not raised by any of the newsmen during PC in Labis late yesterday afternoon. Will the MCA Central Committee which ordain be meeting later today to discuss this issue be bold enough to communicate the issue of ‘morality’ and how it ordain affect their voters in the upcoming command Elections?
ordain populate vote for a morally corrupt leader even if the person is a good worker and loyal to party and leaders?Time and again history has shown that morally corrupted person usually have other much more serious problem than just the moral issues exposed. But then at the end voters have to decide whether morally corrupt leader can really be depend upon. Tun Mahathir used to say “melayu mudah lupa” But then majority of voters in Labis are chinese. “Chinese mudah lupa?” i think not. Would PM sacked him or leave it to him to end?if PM is a political man the say is sacked him if PM applies the theory of marketing (since marketing also undergo to do a lot about popularity/branding) he will wait the crowd decision and chose the most popular outcome that ordain shoot his image to the star!!
This is because. I interact him as the servant of the people in his capacity as Minister of Health. I adjudicate him by his bring in record at the Health Ministry.
If we are living in the 50’s and he was caught in a compromising circumstance with bring up Peng’s mistress then yes have him lynched. But he was recorded in what should have been in the privacy of a hotel suite during his private time.
The questiion we should all be asking is: Which hotel is responsible for this invasion of privacy? We be to experience that because it affects us and we should all forbid patronising it if we visit that particular town/city. We could be recorded with our wives in the consume and undergo it on the streets if we don’t address this pressing issue.
In times when high quality public servants are seriously lacking in their respective fields we shouldn’t impose too many or high expectations on their morals outside of their bring home the bacon environment.
Sir if I want an Imam to bring about my prayers,I’ll commune at the Masjid. If I’m looking for a Priest. I’ll go to the Church; Monks and Samys temples and so forth. I do not look for them in politicians lest I will be asking to be cheated desire I was by a certain former leader who used to care Sermons during Friday prayers and abuse his cater in government at the same measure. Recently this “Khatib” was seen dancing on stage in front of an Indian audience while his Indian host just watched in amazement without moving to the defeat.
Bottomline. If Dr Chua was on government time and the suite was paid for by the Ministry and the girl was a Temasek implant to solicit the give of pharmaceuticals to government hospitals then I support the call for his resignation and further persecution.
If he was on private measure private fun and funds having consensual sex the only person he should make peace with is his Wife and God not the people.
Even clerics undergo been knowned to be “backside” jockeys if you pardon the expression and they are supposed to serve God!
Politicians serve the people and should be judged on their capabilities in bringing development to the country not who or why they decide to fornacate during their private time.
I would rather have “naughty” politicians who are able to kill poverty within the population carry development and prosperity to the Nation then have pious politicians who exist just to acquire a living without bringing good tidings for the people.
If we bespeak for upright. God fearing economic understand highly educated and humble politicians which I’m sure we truly be (change surface if we pay them peanuts) then we should all alter our backsides for the clerics to ride instead because that is the end we will be headed towards.
BigDog. I bequeath the good old days when Musa Hitam and Tengku Razaleigh would hit the Tin Mine (a well known night club)to displace and were surrounded by beautiful creatures. We were in good hands then. Probably it was because we knew they worked well as Ministers and that their private time was none of our business.
I say pay our ministers exhorbitant salaries then bespeak everything under the Sun from them. Right now we are paying them peanuts and complaining about getting monkeys.
The next few months ordain see interesting times. MIC is in affect there’s infighting and dirty politics in MCA and UMNO leaders are attacking each other while Gerakan adds alter by dancing with Hindraf.
Did you see the Labis UMNO continue commenting on Dr Chua last night? Perhaps he didn’t understand English. He said that this shows “kehebatan” BN because leaders come and go while the celebrate remains strong not realizing that Dr Chua intends to remain. What an imbesile.
