Press Release 16 Feb 2009

I wish to thank everyone who had called and sent me SMSs, left messages in my email box and blog. I’m sorry for not being able to take all your calls and reply to some of your SMSs in time. I am grateful for your support and kind words of encouragement, especially from my constituents, my party and PR members, Exco members and old friends. This means the world to me. 

I also wish to thank some fellow politicians from the other opposite end of the political divide for their encouragement too.

 

Press Release: 16 Feb 2009

I was informed on Friday 13 February, 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 unscrupuluous 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.

 

新闻文告

我在上周五（2月13日）被《马来邮报》记者告知我，他们拥有我睡觉时半裸，以及发生亲密关系的照片，并将会刊登这些照片。

他们也告诉我，有人尝试流传我睡觉时半裸，以及发生亲密关系的照片或短片。

刊登及流传这些照片或短片，是一项对我的恶意攻击。这已经严重侵犯我的私人隐私权，特别是侵犯了我的私人生活。我相信这些举动是一些无耻的人为了羞辱及破坏我。

在这起事件里，我是一名受害者。

我已经在昨天针对此事向警方报警，并将会全力配合警方的调查。在目前的阶段，我不想猜测究竟是谁拍摄或流传这些照片及短片。

我已经接获许多基层，选民，朋友及同事的支持。我谨此感谢大家的关心、支持和鼓励。

我的家人也给予我全力的支持，我同时要求各媒体给予我和我家人一个喘息的空间，让我可以面对这项艰巨的挑战。

我将会继续执行我的职责，为雪州人民忠诚地服务。
