Day One of 2008: Malaysia National Headline~MOH Minister...

...sis sent a link...which was something surprizing (and yet not really so surprizing)...about our Malaysian politics...politicians caught red-handed of sex-scandal...
and this time it's our Minister of Health, I didnt follow up the whole news, but just saw the clip on youtube...at first I thought, well, it must be 'courageous' for him to admit it publicly to the whole country...but then again, like sis said, it's easy to recognize the person in the clip...so perhaps in a way, it's better for him to admit it himself and early enough than waiting for people to discover him...at least now that he owned up, people like me would still give him two cents worth of pity...
...and yes, quite certainly he will be sacked..so good bye Datuk! but then again, I seriously wonder what would happen if he is not a Chinese? would they keep him? or how would they handle the case?
...and then of course I am also thinking that it's unlucky of him getting caught, or rather to get trapped (the video was of coz shot secretly)...and we are sure that there are many others out there doing this kind of thing...should I say, welcome to the adult world?...it's really funny how could they mess things up like this...I mean, these politicians have such high reputation, and are they not supposedly rationale leaders?!...and apart from themselves, all that they do affect their families...so dont they think twice before they do launch into action?...even in having pleasure? ...ahem, should really label this post as 18SX but anyway, now that the whole country knew it, doesn't matter anymore, since little primary school kids might just ask their parents what did our dear minister do exactly?
...and even if we don't talk about reputation, politics and all...why can't they stay loyal to their families? why do something like this that could so easily jeorpadize themselves and affect their families? and it is even very very wrong for any lay man on the street to betray his family with this kind of act..let alone leaders of the community? what does it mean when this kind of act takes place? ...satisfaction from home is never enough? or that any wild illegal act is always exciting? ...well, guess that's part of human nature, the lust and evil desire always get the better of them...(shucks, I must be so naive to be overwhelmed like this...)
...and with him getting sacked it would certainly affect the political party somehow, as he has a big port folio in the cabinet...and I wonder how would the next person perform? not to mention, one chinese less in the cabinet...
...anyway...this is a good example to show the fact that...humans are prone to wrong-doings...and public figures are unfortunately the target of those keen on catching them doing these acts...and I guess certain conducts, once done, the harm remains...you could never reverse things...and the harm probably affects your loved ones as well...I really pity his wife and children...
hmm...I hope I wont get into trouble for a post like this..talk about freedom of speech, I wonder to what extent it exists in Malaysia?
