KOTA BAHARU, Feb 17 -- PAS believes that the offer by Elizabeth Wong to resign from her post as Selangor State Executive Councillor and vacating the Bukit Lanjan State Assembly seat following the posting of her nude photograph on the internet as an act of a highly principled person.
PAS vice-president Datuk Husam Musa said it was also a moral act by Wong after her integrity was tainted by the posting of the photograph."Pakatan Rakyat has its own moral standard which must be adhered to and I consider the move by the Bukit Lanjan assemblywoman as a principled and moral act," he told reporters at his office, here today.
It was reported that Wong, 37, who is the chairman of the Selangor State Committee on Tourism, Consumer Affairs and Environment, would discuss her resignation with Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.Commenting on the issue, Husam said PAS sympathised with Wong and described the individual who had posted her photograph on the internet as someone who was immoral.Asked whether the issue would affect PAS and the coalition between the party, DAP and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Husam said it would have no effect at all on the coalition as what transpired was something unexpected.He said the efforts by certain elements to discredit the coalition was also something positive as it enabled the coalition to correct whatever weaknesses they had.-- BERNAMA
My comment: It is significant that Husam used the words 'principled and moral act' to describe Elizabeth Wong's offer to resign as Selangor Exco and Bukit Lanjan state assemblyman.
