It is important for everyone to know that politics is a very intrusive career. It is fine to hide behind the concept of personal privacy but the truth of the matter is that everything and anything will be under public scrutiny. In politics, once it is in the open, it will be dissected and discussed by all.
In the case of Elizabeth Wong, although it is unfortunate that someone she trust sharing her bed with could do something this despicable, she must realize that she will have to face the consequences if the unthinkable happens.
For me, he decision to resign must be accepted. She must set a precedent which all others will have to follow once faced with this situation. The silver lining in this episode is that she has set the trend for what we would expect public figures to do. Western nations have been doing it for years, we should start emulating them. Elizabeth Wong is one of the first few to start the trend in Malaysia. This is progress.
