Elizabeth Wong will be reinstated?

Now, this is a Sultan who knows what his rakyat wants, Eli has worked hard and was noticed by the Sultan of Selangor. I am sure the Sultan wants Selangor to prosper and to have that, the Sultan requires people who are committed and not corrupted. So, MB Khalid, the final decision is yours, don't screw up.

Star 25 Feb 2009 SHAH ALAM: Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah of Selangor is above politics and will leave it to Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to decide the fate of his exco member Elizabeth Wong, who is now abroad, over a photo scandal.

The Sultan’s private secretary Datuk Mohamad Munir Bani said the Sultan believed that whatever decision Khalid was going make, it would be done accurately, fairly and with wisdom.

He added that the decision would take into consideration the interest of the people of the state.

He said this in a statement released after Khalid had an audience with the Sultan at Istana Mestika at 8.23am Tuesday. He said Sultan Sharafuddin was concerned of late over cases of privacy rights intrusions being used to destroy a person’s dignity and reputation.

The Sultan also felt sad that a person’s private was being made through the use of the mass media and that he hoped that Wong would remain calm and be patient and continue with her life.

Wong tendered her resignation as exco member and PKR's Bukit Lanjan assemblyman recently, after some compromising photos of her were sent to the media.

The state and PKR have yet to accept her resignation and Khalid had said last week that the decision to accept or reject Wong’s resignation would be made only after an audience with the Sultan.

Hilmi, come back and face us

Come back and prove your innocence Hilmi, why go into hiding if you have done nothing wrong? You can't hide forever, be a man and face us. What ever happened between you and Eli before is none of our business and it should be kept between both of you. But to provide these private photos of Eli was not ethical in any kind of relationship, especially when they are used for topple Eli's career in the political arena.

Star KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 — Close friends of Hilmi Malek, said to be the ex-boyfriend of Selangor executive councillor Elizabeth Wong remain shocked at the turn of events and are hoping he will step forward to tell his side of the story.

“We do not know anything about the pictures and don’t think he would circulate those pictures,” said one of his friends who spoke on condition of anonymity. They last spoke to him on Saturday, and have been trying to contact Hilmi who is believed to be in Indonesia since Monday (three days ago).

The friends who described Hilmi as someone who is well-read and knowledgeable in politics were also disturbed with misleading reports on his personality. “The story that portrays him as an abusive person is only one sided. He has many times confided to us about his personal problems,” said a friend referring to a report in a Chinese daily accusing Hilmi of physically abusing the Bukit Lanjan assemblyman.

The 32 year old was an aide to PKR MP Hee Loy Sian for nine months before he quit the job in January.

Yesterday the police said they wanted to record a statement from Hilmi and have urged him to come forward to assist in investigations. Meanwhile Wong who has offered her resignation from all positions in the state today said she has left the country “to search for peace of mind to get away from the stormy events surrounding me”.

In a statement today she claimed that she has been informed that more sensational stories of her private life would be published. “I have also been told there will be a fresh assault, with more photographs and videos released and circulated in order to completely degrade and bury me,” said Wong. “This is the darkest episode in my life. I have never felt so alone, vulnerable and humiliated,” she added

Elizabeth Wong goes abroad to rest

Star 19 Feb 2009 PETALING JAYA: Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong, who described the furore over her scandalous photographs as the ‘darkest episode’ in her life, has gone overseas. In a press statement on Wednesday, Wong said she had never felt so alone, vulnerable and humiliated since the scandal broke out.

“Despite having tendered my resignation from all posts, the media and websites continue to intrude into my private life and privacy."

“I have been informed by several media that they will continue to publish even more lewd graphical, sensational stories of my private life."

“I have also been told there will be a fresh assault, with more photographs and videos released and circulated in order to completely degrade and bury me,” she said in an e-mail on Thursday. "

She stated that public discussions should not be focused on her but on more important issues such as the coming serious economic recession that would be faced by the nation.

“Unemployment is rising, while corruption remains rampant. I wish public discussions would concentrate on these important issues rather than analysing my private life. My principles remains the same."

“I will not answer any question pertaining to my private life. My private life is not for public scrutiny as I have not broken any law or caused harm to anyone,” she said.

Bullets, Kidnappings & Videotapes

Malaysian Insider KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 — A photograph of three bullets, “kidnappings” and CCTV videotapes. These were among the evidence presented or alluded to by Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in parliament today to support his claims that the BN government is using bribery and other unethical tactics to entice defections.

Anwar also alleged that despite police reports, top government officials were deliberately taking no action. He told parliament how Lim Soo Nee, PKR’s state representative for Kulim agreed to be “bait” and worked together with the Anti-Corruption Agency (now called the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission) to secure evidence of alleged bribery attempts made by agents of Datuk Seri Mahadzir Khalid to entice a defection. Mahadzir is the former menteri besar of Kedah. Mahadzir’s agents were alleged to have offered up to RM5 million for a defection, Anwar claimed.

A CCTV recording was purportedly made of a meeting between Lim and Mahadzir at a hotel in Seberang Jaya at the end of last year. Anwar also showed a photograph of three bullets sent to PKR Bakar Arang state representative Tan Wei Shu. It was alleged to have been sent when Tan declined an offer to defect.

Anwar promises proof of BN blackmail

Let’s empty the closet, people need to know the “tricks” politicians use to discredit or “eliminate” others. Abang Anwar, expose them and describe the details in full.

Malaysian Insider KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 18 — Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says he will expose how threats and inducements are used against Pakatan Rakyat state assemblymen and members of parliament in his speech in parliament tomorrow.

“I am going to show proof of blackmail in my parliament speech tomorrow,”

Pakatan Rakyat leaders have been under ferocious pressure with talk of defections rife ever since three Perak state representatives switched their support from the fledging coalition earlier this month giving BN a lead in the state assembly and causing the ouster of Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaludin.

It is speculated that the proof that Anwar plans to present tomorrow will be related to the resignation of PKR’s Bukit Selambau state assemblyman V Arumugam on February 8. The resignation was allegedly due to pressure exerted by BN on Arumugam to defect.

Most recently, naked photographs of PKR’s Bukit Lanjan state representative Elizabeth Wong have been leaked to the media and Pakatan Rakyat has been quick to label the photos as BN’s attempt at gutter politics aimed at discrediting the Selangor state government with which Wong was a state executive councillor.

Elizabeth Wong’s private photos

Look who is talking about moral! Of all people, the former MB of Selangor. Caught by the police in Penang recently for staging an illegal assembly at KS’s house not embarassing enough?

Before you talk about Elizabeth’s private photos and saying how immoral the situation is, try looking back at those who had “sinned” and “shown even more” of their immorality to the public and still taken back by the ruling party as if nothing had happened. What about the Chinese minister who had fun in a hotel and was filmed? And not forgetting the Dato “raba raba in the lift” CCTV clip taken from one of the lifts in the government building.

Suddenly you are so concerned about PKR’s image, what is PKR to you anyway? Clean your own backyard first before you peep at others. And make sure you wear your lingerie when you sleep, just in case.

Malaysian Insider KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 16 – Selangor Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Mohd Khir Toyo urged state executive councillor Elizabeth Wong to resign immediately after her nude photos were circulated.

Describing the scandal as embarrassing, Khir said Wong is no longer fit to remain as a member of the state administration or a lawmaker.

“This is about morality, whether the pictures were taken with or without consent is another matter, I cannot accept a lawmaker whose morality is questionable,” Khir told The Malaysian Insider.

“This is very embarrassing for the people of Selangor. This is about leadership, the people will not be able to accept this,” he added.

92% says Elizabeth Wong’s Career Intact

In the polls results in NTV7 today, the public voted that Elizabeth Wong’s career will not be effected by her private photos. So, Eli we are all here to support you.

Elizabeth Wong quits over nude photos

Malaysian Insider KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 – Selangor executive councillor and Bukit Lanjan assemblywoman Elizabeth Wong broke down in tears as she announced her resignation from both posts today following the circulation of her nude photographs.

“I have received overwhelming support from family and my constituents but in the interest of my party, I have decided to offer my resignation as exco member and State Assemblyman for Bukit Lanjan,” she said while trying to contained her tears.

She said the event of the last two days have shown an insidious and underhanded attempt by certain quarters to smear her reputation.

“My personal life and privacy has been violated.”

The human rights activist and environmentalist will be the third politician in recent history to quit posts due to such photographs or video. The first was then deputy speaker of parliament D.P. Vijandran in 1989 who quit after pornographic tapes featuring him surfaced. Last year, Health Minister Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek resigned on New Year’s Day under similar circumstances.

If her resignation is accepted, it will lead to a by-election in Bukit Lanjan.

Cops to record statement from Wong’s ex-boyfriend

When there is a buyer, there is always a seller. Signs showed that there was money involved and political motivated. I am sure that the same “offers” are given to those who can provide such low down “evidence” so that it can be used to topple hardworking politicians like Elizabeth Wong. I hope that the police will go deeper rather than just scratching the surface of this case. We demand to know who is the main culprit who ochestrated this event.

Star 18 Feb 2009 SHAH ALAM: Police will record a statement from Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong’s former boyfriend over her nude pictures scandal on Wednesday, Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said. He said police had received two nude photographs, as well as a compact disc, of the 37-year-old politician from a Malay Mail journalist. So far, police had recorded statements from two Malay Mail journalists and two other journalists from theSun in connection with the case, he told reporters at a function here. He said police were now monitoring websites which posted the pictures.

He advised those in possession of the politician’s nude pictures to either destroy or hand them over to the police, adding that stern action would be taken against those found distributing the pictures.

On Tuesday, Wong offered to resign as an assemblyman and also Selangor executive councillor over the case. — Bernama
