On Wednesday Malaysia’s Health Minister resigned after he admitted of being the man in the circulated sex video.

According to Reuters, Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi accepted Health Minister Chua Soi Lek’s resignation.

On Tuesday Chua didn’t want to resign saying that his family had forgiven him and he expected the same thing from the Malaysians and his party. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case and on Wednesday he had to give up and resign due to pressure, the New York Times informs.

Chua said that he didn’t make those DVDs. He refers to the DVDs that are of 56 and 44 minutes length and were made two years ago in a hotel room. They were filmed with four different cameras from different angles and then edited. They appeared at street corners and even in the people junk mail. 

Police is investigating to see who was responsible for the video recordings and how was possible that four cameras were in a hotel in the southern state of Johor.

Prime Minister Abdullah declared that he was shocked about the DVDs, but said that this won’t affect the preparations for the election.

At the news conference Chua said: “I am the man in the tape,” and described the woman in the video as a “friend.”

 “I would like to emphasize that I did not make the tape myself,” he continued.

Obviously the tape was made with a purpose: to force him to resign.

He said: "After I made my confession, I had hoped Malaysians would be able to accept my apology. Unfortunately, from the feedback I received, I observed that Malaysians cannot accept it. Some Malaysians have a holier-than-thou attitude," Chua added

“At the end of the day, it just tells you that honesty sometimes does not pay,” he said.

Political analyst said: "For a top politician you can't continue in power when you are seen naked.”
