Eli, resign-lah

When Eli Wong went on sabbatical leave some two months ago due to the embarrassing nude photos, I left a massage in her blog leaving some words of encouragement but more importantly, asking her to accept her fate and resign from all posts that she held. I hate by-election for it would cost taxpayers’ money unnecessarily. But, in the case of Eli Wong, is there any other better ways to resolve this untoward incident? Chua Sok Lek resigned. Even though he won the second post in MCA election, he was not made the minister. Eventually, he will be sidelined, grassroots’ support or not, let’s accept the reality. You are innocent until proven guilty. For Chua, when he was caught in AV action video clip, he should know that he could not turn back the clock.

There are a lot more people, politicians especially, which could be even worse than we could possibly imagined, but until proven guilty, they are innocent. But for Eli, she may say that she was the victim of the circumstances, her privacy was invaded, and she was betrayed by her ex-lover. That all we understand. But when you are caught pants down, guilty or not, privacy invaded or not, a setup or not, accept the fate, just leave and the world will forget the incident eventually. But if one tries to fight against the tide, he or she must be psychologically prepared; it is a dog world out there, if you have weakness for your enemies to exploit, why should you think that they would not use it conveniently?

Exactly as Eli Wong resumed her state government post after two months of sabbatical leave, more nude pictures of her have resurfaced recently.
