Elizabeth Wong, the Selangor exco for tourism, environment and consumer affairs, Monday afternoon (16 Feb) said the public distribution of her nude photos was a gross outrage of her modesty and added that she would not step down from office.
In a statement, she said, "I was informed on Friday, 13 Feb 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."
She said the distribution and publication of these photos/video is a malicious attack on her personality. This constitutes a gross outrage on my modesty, a gross invasion of my privacy, and in particular the sanctity of my personal life, she added.
"It is being done by unscrupulous persons to embarrass and discredit me? I am a victim in this incident," Wong, who is state assemblywoman for Bukit Lanjan, said.
"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."
Wong said she has received support from my supporters, friends, colleagues and members of my constituency and thanked 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." (MySinchew)
Menggemparkan...kini tersebar luas gambar bogel Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) PKR kawasan Bukit Lanjan Elizabeth Wong.
Walaupun pada awalnya, timbul tanda tanya mengenai kesahihan gambar tersebut, namun Eleizabeth hari Isnin tampil mengaku gambar bogel yang tersebar itu adalah gambarnya.
Beliau yang pernah menjadi jadi pembantu khas kepada Presiden PKR Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail akan membuat laporan polis ekoran penyebaran gambar berkenaan. Elizabeth ( gambar di atas yang menunjukkan beliau sedang bersandar ke badan Menteri Besar Selangor ) kini berhadapan dengan desakan agar beliau meletak jawatan kerana moralnya dipertikaikan.
Sementara itu, Naib Presiden PKR Azmin Ali berkata, pihaknya tidak akan berkompromi dalam isu gambar bogel Elizabeth Wong.
"Pendirian kita dalam pakatan adalah jelas, kita tidak akan berkompromi dalam soal moral," ujar beliau.
Katanya, PKR akan mendapatkan keterangan Exco itu serta laporan polis sebelum memutuskan tindakan lanjut.
Dalam perkembangan yang sama Menteri Besar Selangor, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim pula berkata isu itu akan dibincang dalam mesyuarat Exco Negeri, Rabu ini - 10.35 pagi -16/2/2009
