whoa! an explosive new year!

UPDATED 5.15PM

Chua quits all party and government posts!

He said that he was disappointed that the people have adopted a holier-than-thou attitude in the matter.

yep. i fully agree. all those who call for his resignation indeed has this holier than thou attitude. so now you are going to celebrate that he resigned?

as i commented elsewhere, he was unlucky to be caught. i’m sure there are so many other ministers are involved in illicit (or one night stand) affair too. (why, we even have one who is known as a playboy minister). beside, this is his own private affair.

report from the star.

ORIGINAL POST

yep. on 1 jan. 2008, health minister, chua soi lek  (pic), admitted he was the man in the sex video. whoa! what a hot scandal to start the year.

well much had been said around the blogosphere. i will not say much except to say that i share the view of one commenter, by the handle of ‘da real deal’,  in rocky bru’s blog. he had said exactly what i would want to say. so here i copy and paste his comments:

——————————————

This is an invasion of privacy friends. It happened to him and it can happen to you and your wives when you do the hot and heavy. So I think we should crucify the hotel operators and demand Chua Soi Lek to reveal the name of the hotel so that the rakyat would avoid checking in it.

Forgive me but I have to differ on this issue if it is to ask Chua to resign.

I think first of all, if you are concerned about him having a wife and family, you should ask him to divorce his wife and leave a good part of his wealth to her. That would be more reasonable because I think the one most hurt in this fiasco is the wife.

Secondly, professionally, he didn’t have it taped for his own amusement. He didn’t have sex at the Minister’s office like Clinton did in the Oval room. Someone filmed him from 4 ANGLES!
Thirdly, so far his health policies have been great. The govt hospitals and the standards of the doctors and nurses have been hugely upgraded as their welfare have been taken more seriously since he took office.

Fourthly, the rakyat should be educated enough to judge a politician by his policies, work ethics and his service to the people and not to rely too much on his private life.

I’m a tax-paying citizen of reasonable intelligence. If I’m expecting politicians serving me to be 100% morally pure and at the same time very able in the office as a public servant, then I’m asking to be screwed more visciously than the woman Chua Soi Lek made love to in the hotel room.

As a rakyat, I’m looking for a person in office who can uplift the welfare, economy and everything else that effects my pocket and safety of the nation. What he does in his private time and outside the govt buildings, he will have to answer to his family and God, not I.

If I want an Imam, I’ll go to the Masjid; Preist, I’ll head for the church; Monks and Samys,I’ll head for the temples, and MIC. I don’t look for them in politicians. I’m afraid I caught one on the Mimbar giving out a sermon in Anwar Ibrahim before who turned out to be a power abusive and corrupt leader. SO I don’t need a morally righteous politician, just a serving one.

I know of one ex-Member of Parliament who was an honourable religious teacher turned politcian. He had 100% attendance in Parliament but I never heard him debate. Instead I was told he even slept while in Parliament and in official functions in the Division. (this even before Pak Lah took office, so the PM didn’t have pioneer status on this).

Bottomline. If I need to repair my shoes, I see a cobbler. If I need a haircut, I see a barber, and if I need to pray behind an Imam, I’ll go to the Masjid. If I need a politician, I won’t look for one who can repair shoes, cut hair and be religious while formulating and implementing govt policies.

Get him to divorce his wife and make her rich if you want to be a busybody, but don’t ask him to resign unless his ministry’s policies suck.

Don’t expect political leaders to be religious. Heck! Even clerics are knowned ass-jockeys, and they’re supposed to serve God!!!

Expect politicians to be politicians, nothing more. If you do, you will be less disappointed and in some cases you will even be satisfied.

Just be grateful that your sex with your spouse(if you’re married) or even a threesome in a hotel room isn’t posted on youtube. We shouldn’t worry about a Minister having consensual sex in a supposedly private room on an unofficial visit. What we should worry about is that if a Minister’s privacy can be violated by a hotel operator during visit Malaysia Year, what guarntee is there that the rakyat’s privacy is protected everytime we walk into a hotelroom?

Let’s demand for Chua to reveal the name of the hotel and go to town on the industry to ensure that the privacy of the rakyat in hotel rooms are safeguarded from perverts and wankers.
