I support Elizabeth Wong; I deplore Khir Toyo's cynical politics

Malaysiakini - Nude photos: Exco lodges police report.

A headline guaranteed to titillate the puerile, but alas, the photos are those of one of the finest and most competent women I have had the honour to know. Thus I am almightily pissed off.

Elizabeth Wong or Eli as she is popularly called, is also the ADUN (assemblyperson) for Bukit Lanjang, and an executive councillor (exco) for Selangor State.

Who took her photo when she was asleep, who betrayed her trust – all these are irrelevant. The shameful grubby act has been the unconscionable circulation of those very private photos which had caught her unknowingly in her moment of utmost privacy, when she was fast asleep.

Is there no depth to such lowdown act of unmitigated shameful intrusion into someone’s private life and at her most sacred moments, during her sleep?

Malaysiakini also published another article aptly titled Wong: I was a victim, which she has been.

kaytee stands by her and deplores those unknown parties who have resorted to such underhanded unspeakable unmitigated sleazy methods to smear her reputation.

I say again, kaytee has the utmost confidence in Eli Wong as an assemblyperson, a wonderful lady and a brave advocate of human rights.

This should be a time when such a despicable act should merit bipartisan wrath, but regrettably Khir Toyo, former MB of Selangor, failed miserably to rise to the occasion to condemn the loathsome, contemptible and reprehensible attempt to tarnish Eli's standing.

Instead he sought to exploit the sordid beastly affair by demanding Eli Wong resign – see Malaysiakini She must quit, says Khir Toyo.

Khir Toyo told Malaysiakini: "This is a moral issue. Previously, (former health minister and MCA deputy president) Dr Chua Soi Lek had also resigned over a similar incident."

How the f* did Khir Toyo come up with the assessment that the case of Eli Wong’s being photographed while she was asleep is similar to the case of the DVD capturing Chua Soi Lek having sex with a woman who was not his wife?

The only similarity was that both cases were gross invasion of privacy …

… but Chua Soi Lek’s flagrante delicto had tossed a personal moral issue between him and his wife, as well as between him and his constituency. Other than those parties, it should be nobody’s business. It was Chua's personal problem to deal with, and so he had. But that was his decision based on his own perception of the gravity of the issue.

I do not see Eli Wong's case being similar to Chua's, thus the call for her to resign is nonsense and driven by equally shameful politicking. It's lamentable that Khir Toyo couldn't rise to the occasion when basic decency should have prevailed.

To summarize, I deplore the gross invasion of Eli’s privacy, and I regret deeply the inability of Khir Toyo to rise to bipartisan decency to condemn such an shameful slimy sleazy intrusion into Eli’s innermost sanctum, her private life.
