Ok, the Internet has been abuzz about this couple convicted for khalwat.
Nevertheless, what surprised me most was not the khalwat but the appeal. Well, I guess if an ex-Health Minister caught in a 'sex-capade' could be re-elected to be the President of a party, the position of Dr Hassan could be reinstated too!
Dr Hasan can appeal against demotion, says Health Minister

PUTRAJAYA, Dec 4 (Bernama) -- Datuk
Seri Dr Hasan Abdul Rahman, who was suspended as the director-general of
health following a 'khalwat' (close proximity) case, can appeal against
his demotion by one grade by the Public Service Commission (PSC),
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said today.
Dr Hasan could also opt for early retirement, he added.
"We will leave it to him to decide what he wants to do next," Liow
told reporters after the monthly assembly of the ministry and the launch
of the Clearinghouse for Research on Disability, here.
In a statement yesterday, PSC chairman Tan Sri Mahmood Adam said Dr
Hasan was demoted one grade lower than his Medical Officer Staff II Main
Grade in accordance with Regulation 33(1) of the Public Officers
Regulations (Conduct and Discipline) 1993.
Mahmood said the PSC also decided that Grade U41 nurse Wan Syarifah
Nooraazmanita Wan Hassan, who was involved in the case, be subjected to a
drop of three salary movements for a period of 12 months.
On Nov 14, Dr Hasan, 56, and Wan Syarifah Nooraazmanita, 36, were
fined RM3,000 and RM2,900, respectively, by the Syariah High Court after
they pleaded guilty to 'khalwat' at a room of the Putrajaya Pullman
Hotel at 2.18 am on that day.
