Karpal praises Chua’s courage and integrity

KUALA LUMPUR: DAP chairman Karpal Singh has expressed admiration for MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek’s courage to admit past mistakes and for having the integrity to give up his ministerial position.
He said Dr Chua had climbed his way back to the top after his reputation and image were at their lowest ebb.
“It is not easy for him and his family to go through their daily routine after DVDs of his sex scandal were circulated. We should leave the issue alone,” Karpal told The Star yesterday.
He said Dr Chua had the integrity to resign from his positions, including the post of Health Minister, after the scandal.
“He openly admitted that it was him. He could have denied it but he did not.
“Where politics is concerned, I think he deserves to be given credit.”
He added that Dr Chua’s mistake was a moral issue.
“Who is morally perfect?
“I believe we should let him pull through this,” Karpal said.
Karpal, who had granted a special interview to Oriental Daily on the same issue in conjunction with his 70th birthday celebrations recently, had described Dr Chua as a credible and courageous leader.
On former MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, Karpal said Ong had missed the chance to step down gracefully at the Oct 10 MCA EGM.
In conjunction with his 100th day as MCA president on Monday, Dr Chua spoke on how the party was shaping up to cope with the expectations of more educated, increasingly critical and demanding Malaysians.
Commenting on Karpal’s interview with the Chinese daily, MCA publicity bureau deputy chairman Loh Seng Kok said Dr Chua had performed well even without a ministerial post.
“Dr Chua is taking on various issues affecting the people, which are not just confined to the Chinese community,” he said.

tunku : it is best for karpal to advice anwar the moron to resign as he too has moral issues. at least chua's case was different, anwar went against the norm, he chooses man over woman. he is a man with loose character and no moral,that is why anwar still eyeing to be the pm even though he sodomize people. wonder why karpal is supporting such person if he's so concern about moral.i still remember once it came out from karpal's mouth " anwar ibrahim perlu bertaubat" but now he is anwar's lawyer for the sodomy case. when anwar was the dpm, karpal accuses him of sodomy.it shows that both karpal and anwar has no moral.

To Karpal moral only refers to admit sin on just sex scandal? Wonder what will it be to Karpal on politicians with twisted tongue, liars and corrupt? Probably its NORMAL to him

Karpal is hinting that if it is ok for us to accept Chua Soi Lek sex scandal, then it will be ok too for us to accept Anwar's sex scandal?
