Malaysia minister sex video vs Indonesian politician sex video

Great to hear a minister in M’sia admitted what he did in a sex video. But he refused to resign as a minister..what the hell is he thinking of? Although it’s a personal life of a minister, not his professional work, the mistake is now a public consumption and because of it, the minister loses his credibility. People in the ministry will have a hard time to work as people keep questioning the minister scandal, so what’s for maintaining the ministerial position? If he steps down, it will be good for the public and himself.
This sex video reminds me of a sex video at home between a Golkar party politician cum religious minister candidate Yahya Zaini and a dangdut singer Maria Eva. He admitted the video, but different from Malaysian Minister Chua, Yahya Zaini resigned from his post in Golkar party. In this case, I see Yahya is better than Chua.

Chua: I’m the one in sex video
Jan 1, 08 4:32pm

Health Minister Chua Soi Lek today openly admitted that he was the person featured in a video depicting a man having sex with a woman purportedly in a hotel room.

Chua, 60, who is also MCA vice-president, made the confession at a press conference this afternoon in his parliamentary constituency of Labis in Johor.

However, he said that he will not resigned as health minister but will instead let Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi decide on his fate.
An apparently relaxed looking Chua vowed that he would continue his ministerial and party duties as normal. The senior MCA leader, who is married with three children, also said that the 30-something woman featured in the video clip was a “personal friend”. “I am the man in the tape. The girl is a personal friend,” Chua said from a prepared statement at the Labis MCA headquarters at 4pm, accompanied by a group of 50 party supporters and local leaders. The veteran politician emphasised that he did not make the tape himself. “Who have done this is not important. What is most important is that my family, wife and children have accepted my apology,” he told the packed press conference. Chua revealed that he had met with Abdullah yesterday as well as Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and MCA president Ong Ka Ting to “personally apologised to them”. When asked what was the outcome of his meeting with Abdullah, Chua declined to answer and instead told the reporters to ask the prime minister. According to Chua, he got a copy of the video from a friend on Sunday and he had watched the clip. He said the reason for the person who made the video clip without his knowledge was “very obvious”, hinting that he was a victim of a political conspiracy within the party. He also said he was considering making a police report on the matter but added that the police had already started investigating the video. Chua also refused to divulge the identity of woman in the video when pressed by journalists. “I appeal to the press to give me and my family some space during this difficult time.”
