Dr Chua Soi Lek admits to being the man in sex DVD
DATUK Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek is the man in the sex DVD circulating in Johor.
The Health Minister admitted this yesterday, saying that the woman seen in the DVD is a personal friend. Dr Chua, the Labis MP and MCA vice-president, has apologised to MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and to his family over the matter.
Dr Chua's wife Datin Seri Wong Sek Hin said in a statement that she and the family would stand by him.
Asked about his political future, Dr Chua said: “I leave it to my party members, leaders and the Malaysian public.”
On who was behind the video clip, Dr Chua said: “Who did it and why is obvious but it is not important now.”
Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek has tendered his resignation as Health Minister, MCA vice-president, Johor MCA chief and Labis MP.
He announced this at a press conference Wednesday here.
The announcement came a day after he held a press conference in Labis, Johor, where he admitted to being the man in the sex DVDs circulating in Johor.
The two DVDs which had been available in Muar and other towns in Johor show Dr Chua having sex with a woman whom he described as a “personal friend” at Tuesday’s press conference.
“I have seen Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting and I have personally apologised to them,” said Dr Chua on Tuesday, reading from a one-page statement.
On Tuesday Dr Chua had said he would not be resigning from his posts.
“I leave it to party members, leaders and the Malaysian public to be the judge. It's not for me to speculate.”
The 60-year-old doctor sold his medical practice in 1990 to go into politics.
He is married to Datin Seri Wong Sek Hin. The couple has three children.
