Malaysian political diary 2008

I was expecting some changes in Malaysian politics for this year unfortunately we are starting the year 2008 Malaysian political diary with the sex scandal. The scandal was blown out to public a few days ago when an unidentified group of politicians distribute a sex scandal DVD which involves the MCA top guns, from door to door in Johor and later was in Selangor and Klang Valley. Today the man admitted he is the one who was in the DVD and the lady was his personnel friend. At the same time, he said, will not resign from his post but leave it to the Prime Minister. So does PM dare to ask him to leave or resign or go for leave until the general election and then drop him from the candidate list? Some said the man did his best as a cabinet minister so his personnel story is not the issue but some argue, Malaysia is umno self pro-claimed Islamic country so morally and legally is wrong. If you enforce the Islamic law, he should be charged for doing sin under the criminal code. But the most important fact is, syariah law does not bind the non-muslims. So non-muslim don’t need to worry about it and don’t present your self to syariah court but I believe morally it’s wrong and it’s wrong again to say, what he did is, his personnel chapters and he don’t need to bother about the public perceptions. If we come to that conclusion and in Malaysian politics, if moral is the personnel matter and the most important is the performance to public while in office then PM have to say it openly otherwise it’s not a good decision to incarcerate other politicians for the immoral activity, and then when it’s come to close alleys, we chose to close one eye by saying that is his personnel matter.
