I refer to the Malaysiakini report Chua quits all party, gov't posts .

It is not the sex scandal that involves former health minister Dr Chua Soi Lek that is shocking but how the people in general are responding to it that is. Just because he is a politician, does what he had indulged in be sensationalised?

Of course, sex involving a politician will make headlines but I guess we should leave the matter to rest since he has resigned from all posts.

I have read some cruel jokes and comments about him which I find it difficult to digest. Anyone who has not sinned, please cast the first stone. I am not condoning such Chua’s act but merely saying that we all have our prerogatives as adults.

Chua had atoned for his act and I respect him as a man to own up rather than denying. The publicity over the scandal is punishment in itself so let’s be fair by leaving him and his family alone and from further embarrassment.

Whether he is a victim of political rivalry or revenge, he has faced the music courageously knowing that it is time for his political demise. I would rather leave such a gentleman alone - not those who are siphoning the country’s wealth and fighting to keep their positions. Such are the vermin who have raped the country and have no conscience. They do not deserve any sympathy.

To Dr Chua, may I wish you the best of luck in your future undertakings and God bless.
