SEX VIDEO BRINGS DOWN MALAYSIAN HEALTH MINISTER
January 2nd 2008 23:43
Malaysia’s health minister resigned on Wednesday after admitting he and a female friend were the couple in a secretly filmed sex video.
Chua resigned immediately from all his posts as health minister, member of Parliament and vice president of the Malaysian Chinese Association, the number two party in Malaysia’s ruling coalition.
AP reports that as a health minister, Chua had been praised for cutting bureaucratic delays in medical services and working to combat AIDS, smoking and junk food consumption.
Chua is the highest-ranking politician to be caught in a sex scandal since former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was expelled from the ruling party and arrested in 1998 for allegedly sodomising his family driver. A court later overturned Anwar’s sodomy conviction.
