Talk About A New Year Gift from Our Politicians

Update:
To avoid posting another Chua-Soi-Lek-Sexual-Scandal-post on this affair, I've decided to just update this entry. Looks like the Dr. has now resigned - perhaps after being "advised" to do so by his taikos in the Cabinet.

A lot of mainstream articles wrote him as accountable and has courage because he admitted to his affair. But they failed to realise that the biggest courage is to take up the responsibility of his actions and should have resigned straightaway. Then again, the mainstream media had to be nice since they needed to kiss their political master's buttocks for fear that they get screwed in a very bad way if they ever wrote truthfully.

I'm certainly not judging him on his sexual misdeeds - it's a private matter after all - but looking at it from a political angle, I cannot see how he can continue to lead nor can I see how he can inspire others. In short, he has lost all credibility.

Resigning is the only way to go. I'm sure his supporters will now be singing his praises of how brave he is because he resigned. Unfortunately, it came a bit too late and has lost even more credibility in my opinion since he has to be told to step down.

Good riddance, I say.

Well, well, well...so it's now revealed that one Dr. Chua Soi Lek is the main actor in the sex DVD that has been sold/circulated in Johor.

Although our so-called Health Minister admitted this to the police and apologized to the public, he has refused to resign. While he may not have made the tape himself - as he has said it - I would have thought that the embarrassment would have been enough reason for a politician - any politician, who is also a member of the Cabinet - to resign his position from the government.

Perhaps having power is too much so important for politicians these days that they will face much - even when such scandal is about - just to stay in power. Not trying to be overly harsh on a man whose sexual experience with a "personal friend" has been recorded AND circulated, but honestly speaking, how can anyone in the public now take him seriously when this is around?
