Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping Photos Scandal--Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping, or simply Elizabeth Wong, a female politician in Malaysia, was hit by a nude photos scandal which were believed by many as a smeared campaign against this promising street-activist-turned state assemblywoman from Malaysia's most prosperous Selangor. The compromising pictures showing Elizabeth Wong in partial nudity and one even exposing her private parts were supposed to be photographed by a former boyfriend (Helmi Malik) without consent when she was sleeping.
Elizabeth Wong, 37, Executive Councillor for Tourism, Environment and Consumer Affairs in Selangor state, had lodged a police report. She issued a statement, claiming she was a victim of a malicious attack on her personality.
Excerpts:
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.
In the statement, Elizabeth Wong said she is receiving a lot of support from her supporters, friends, colleagues and members of my constituency. In fact this is ture, almost all the comments left on the Elizabeth Wong nude photos scandal reports on various news outlets and blogs in Malaysia are flooding the sympathical and encouraging words for her.
Though Elizabeth Wong was called to relinquish all her posts by Khir Toyo, a controversial politician whose false accusation led to Teresa Kok, another top assemblywoman in Selangor detained by the police under Malaysia's infamous Internal Security Act, she refused to do so and said she would continue to serving the people of Selangor faithfully.
The salacious side of Malaysian politics has once again been exposed after the circulation of nude pictures said to be that of Selangor state executive councillor and PKR politician Elizabeth Wong.
The photographs are believed to have been taken by a former boyfriend without her consent.
Copies of the photographs were sent to a number of newspapers last week, in what appears to be an orchestrated attempt to smear her image.
