Both government and opposition politicians have condemned the actions of those who were involved in leaking nude pictures of Bukit Lanjan assemblyperson Elizabeth Wong. Selangor Mentri Besar Khalid Ibrahim, asked if Wong would be asked for her resignation, said the state government would look into all aspects of the incident before making a decision on the matter.
What other parliamentarians said:
Teresa Kok, Seputeh MP and Kinrara assemblyperson
I’ve started to worry about being in my own home... I am afraid there could be a camera in my bathroom. I truly feel sad and sorry for (Wong) after she told me about it yesterday. I had a bad dream last night and I can understand how this kind of thing can haunt a woman. I urge the police to take this matter seriously and I hope the culprit can charged. Why should she resign? Our job is to serve to people. It is not similar to the sex scandal involving (former Health Minister Dr) Chua Soi Lek because he is a married man and he was engaged in something that was morally wrong.
Noraini Ahmad, Deputy Human Resources Minister
Regardless of (who it is), we have to have respect their privacy and it has to be protected. We should also educate society to refrain from invading people's privacy.
R Sivarasa, Subang MP
It is a gross invasion of her privacy. The photos had fallen into the hands of unscrupulous people and they have passed it around. If she has to resign because of this, everything you do in private will become public.
Syed Hamid Albar, Home Minister
PKR has a lot of problematic people and they should settle their problems first before deciding to become the people's representatives in Parliament or even in the state assembly. Well, if she is the victim... I do not know... she is entitled to make a police report and the police will investigate. You may take naked photos in your private home, but you have to make sure the the public will not get it. In this case it is too early to say who is responsible.
Nazri Abdul Aziz, Minister in Prime Minister's Department
I sympathise with the executive councillor, this thing should have not happened as she the people's representative and she had been performing her duties. Therefore, to foil what she has done for the community in this manner is not good. But I hope her spirits (remain strong) and she will not bother about what has happened.
Chew Mei Fun, Wanita MCA chief
...We would like to advise all women to be cautious. We also urged the government to strictly enforce the implementation of the Act, which provides for punitive measures so that it becomes a real deterrent against such detestable behaviour...
Syed said, 'You may take naked photos in your private home, but you have to make sure the the public will not get it. In this case it is too early to say who is responsible.' Oh hello, a thief is a thief. No one knows when a thief will strike. Nothing is 100% 'thief-proof' . Also, stealing simply means taking something with one's permission. So, putting the onus on the victim? Sad.
