ELIZABETH WONG'S STATEMENT IN FULL
I was informed on Friday, Feb 13, 2009 by journalists from The Malay Mail that they have in their possession intimate photos of myself and that the newspaper will be publishing a story about these photographs.
I was told that some people are trying to distribute photos/ videos showing me asleep in partial nudity and also in intimate positions.
The distribution and publication of these photos/ video is a malicious attack on my personality. This constitutes a gross outrage on my modesty, a gross invasion of my privacy, and in particular the sanctity of my personal life. It is being done by unscrupulous persons to embarrass and discredit me?
I am a victim in this incident.
I have yesterday lodged a police report in relation to this matter and I will fully cooperate with the police in their investigation. I will therefore not speculate publicly about those responsible for this gross invasion of my privacy.
I have received a lot of support from my supporters, friends, colleagues and members of my constituency. I wish to thank them for their concern, support and encouragement.
My family members are standing behind me. I would like to appeal to the media to give me and my family members some breathing space in this trying time so that I can weather this huge challenge.
I will in the meantime continue to carry out my task of serving the people of Selangor faithfully.
Elizabeth Wong
Bukit Lanjan assemblyperson
Exco for Tourism, Environment and Consumer Affairs
What has become of Malaysian politics? It seems like surprises are queuing up in line waiting to explode in our faces whether we like it or not! From one episode to another, it looks like the opposition party is made to take the brunt of whatever comes its way.
Time and again we learn about conspiracy in which Malaysia has the capability to churn out at will. The contemporary civil society is very different from the past because what comes to our knowledge, our common sense will prevail to evaluate the contents to determine the truth from false.
The distribution of Selangor executive councilor Elizabeth Wong's controversial nude photographs does not happen without a reason. The conspirators must be working in their sleazy corner plotting with moronic attempt to “kill” an innocent adun politically and can only be done by capable imbeciles.
The police asked Elizabeth’s male friend, Hilmi Hazimin to come forward to give evidence but so far he has not turned up to give his cooperation. Hypothetically, if he turns up, will he be charged for outraging Elizabeth’s modesty? Court cases that proceed will blow apart the individuals private affairs for public consumption. Honestly, I don’t like it if I am one.
This is the whole idea of their dirty game that they have the time to spend on and plot for another person’s downfall.
But lurking at the sleazy corner, the conspirators want Hilmi to emerge from hiding to give more tart and tantalizing details about his modus operandi. So, even the petition signed by the sympathetic Malaysians calling to retain Elizabeth as a Selangor Executive Councillor and Bukit Lanjan State Assembly person will mean nothing to the conspirators. This is because they have made Elizabeth to hold on a double-edged sword!
Not only my heart goes out for Elizabeth Wong but also countless Malaysians who are mature in their thinking to differentiate between what is right or wrong; moral or immoral; and privacy or gregariousness.
All clear thinking Malaysians will stand by you Elizabeth, and we pray that you have the strength to overcome the storm and your decision to continue serving the people will not be a pyrrhic one.
