THREE BUKIT (Lanjang, Gantang and Selambau) of warfield between Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat in by-election.  YES, that will happen if PKR leader and PR agreed or accept the offer of resignation from Elizabeth Wong.

Selangor executive council member and Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong, whose nude photographs were being circulated, has offered to quit both positions, paving the way for a third by-election within the next two months.

She is the state exco member in charge of Tourism, Consumer Affairs and the Environment, and the information chief of the Women’s wing of PKR and of her division Petaling Jaya Utara. The Election Commission has fixed April 7 for by-elections in the Bukit Gantang parliamentary seat in Perak and the Bukit Selambau state seat in Kedah.

Bukit Gantang Member of Parliament Roslan Shaharum of PAS died of a heart attack on Feb 9, while the Bukit Selambau assemblyman V. Arumugam of PKR quit the day before over a marriage scandal.

Wong said in a statement Monday that she was informed last Friday by journalists from a daily that they were in possession of intimate photographs of her and that the daily was about to publish a story about them. She described the distribution and publication of the materials a malicious attack on her personality, a gross outrage of her modesty and a gross invasion of her privacy.

The Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) expressed shock over the unauthorised circulation of the pictures, saying that Wong was being victimised as a single woman, in a tactic meant to deliberately cast moral aspersions and indirectly question her ability to carry out her duties as a politician.

The group – comprising Awam, Empower, WAO and WCC – said it hoped to hear strong statements from both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat condemning the circulation of sexually intimate photos and videos as a means of practising politics.

Wong, in a personal message on her blog, thanked everyone for messages of support.

  1. Has this Najis guy given the deadline, 28th Feb to Toyol to bring down the PR government in Selangor? If Toyol fails ,his future will be like Rosli of Perak.

    Does this Toyol has a hand in the nude photos of Eli? Yes by “crook and by crook”, Toyol has to do the job to please his new incoming boss or he will be put into cold storage just like Rosli of Perak.

    Let’s wait and see what happens over the next ten days or so.Just be on guard PR leaders and never underestimate your enemy.

    The rakyat has done their part to put you in five of the state Government,now do your part to protect the interest of the people.

    Barisan Rakyat will prevail and win eventually ,this I believe

  2. True leaders are servants of the community. They are pioneers and initiators who take the pain to lead and care for the rakyat. They wake up earlier than others. They work longer than others. They are the first inline when it comes to sacrifice. It is not the title they have after their name, that matters. They have the heart to serve, wisdom to organize things. Their faith move mountains. They have vision for all people regardless of their skin colours. They work for long term. They ultimately win the hearts of people.

    Our verdict: Elizabeth Wong should take the challenge and come back a wiser leader. Malaysia needs true leaders.

    Regards,
    Alexander
