Khir says Elizabeth must quit

By Adib Zalkapli

KUALA LUMPUR, Fen 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.

“In Barisan Nasional we asked Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek to resign after his video was circulated,” said the Sungai Panjang assemblyman, referring to the MCA deputy president who was forced to resign last year after his sex video was distributed to the public.

Khir added that the latest scandal was a reflection of PKR’s failure to provide good leadership and hoped that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim would clean up the party.

“They have been talking about integrity and morality I also hope the Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid will take stern action against the assemblyman,” said the former Menteri Besar. “The longer they wait the worse the damage will be to the state.”

Wong, who won the Bukit Lanjan state seat with a majority of 5,000 votes in the general election last year, lodged a police report last night at the Petaling Jaya police station.

Selangor Police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar confirmed that the report has been lodged and said that she was expected to give her statement this evening.

“The report is very brief, we cannot act yet until we get her statement,” Khalid told The Malaysian Insider.
