The price for Dr Dr Chua Soi Lek to pay is too high and honesty does not always pay. Now the question is who is behind the video? Is it an unhealthly and dirty political culture? Are all Malaysians has adopted a holier-than-thou attitude on the issue? Are all Malaysian hotels guarantee the privately and security of the guess? The incident has caused embattled MCA vice-president and Health Minister Dr Chua Soi Lek to quit politics altogether by relinquishing all his party and government posts with immediate effect.
He has also stepped down as the Member of Parliament for Labis. Up until his resignation today, he was also the party’s Johor state chief as well as the Batu Pahat division head.
He expressed disappointment that the public has adopted a holier-than-thou attitude on the issue and noted sarcastically that "maknanya semuanya golongan ulamak" (it must mean they are all very pious).
“I thought that by my admission, the people would forgive my weaknesses, but I thought wrong. This shows that honesty does not always pay, (but) it is up to the public to judge me,” he said.
“My mistake was to go to the same hotel and the same room all the time. I thought it was convenient,” he lamented.
Saying that his resignation would stop people from “following me everywhere (and) placing hidden cameras to capture my every movement”, he described this as a “very sick and unhealthy political culture”.
