From Villain to Hero?

Following the Chua Soi Lek (CSL) sex dvd scandal saga with morbid interest (despite being sick of it), I have noticed an interesting turn of events.

When he admitted to being the one in the sex dvd that was widely distributed in the southern state of Johor, there was public outcry and horror over the scandalous disclosure. Apparently, “public polls” showed that a majority of the people wanted him to resign. And resign CSL did, from his position as Health Minister, and from all political positions within the MCA.

In The Star online today, 2 separate people are “praising” CSL, but for different reasons. One for the work he had done in the Health Ministry and the other for taking responsibility for his personal actions and resigning. Interesting that one should be from the ruling party and the other from the Opposition.

Have the antics and subsequent actions of CSL turned him from a villain to a hero?

Even more interesting is the comment by a former Bar Council President (reported in The Sun) that the law outlawing oral sex is “obsolete” and should be repealed. All this in light of the very same sex DVD that can now apparently fetch up to RM50 in Selangor.

Instead of working on finding the culprit who invaded the privacy by installing a camera in a hotel room to film the antics of its occupants there is instead, talk of whether CSL would be charged for indulging in oral sex (which I assume must have been seen in the DVD). I wish the police would get their priorities right – protect the people from fiends who invade privacy, not charge people who are victims. This is the exact same mentality that makes the rape victim the one at fault, not the rapist.

What next in this CSL sex video scandal? CSL for President?!
