As elected or appointed representatives of the people, they are suppose to be one above the rest, become exemplary leaders and be pillars of good conducts and morality.<BR/><BR/>Their public persona should reflect good character, unblemished and almost “saintly”. One cannot have 2 personalities and put on a different face when you reach home. If so, it will amount to be schizophrenic.<BR/><BR/>As for the Elizabeth Wong case, she broke the very thin moral-line by knowingly going out with a Muslim man. Like it or not, we as Malaysians should respect the Islamic laws, and we all are aware that some of the laws are quite harsh when comes to morality or "Khalwat".<BR/><BR/>The Syariah Criminal Provisions Act (Federal Territories), Part IV, Section 27, Khalwat, states;<BR/><BR/>"Any (a) man who is found together with one or more women, not being his wife or mahram; or (b) woman who is found together with one or more men, not being her husband or mahram, in any secluded place or in a house or room under circumstances which may give rise to suspicion that they were engaged in immoral acts shall be guilty for an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding Three Thousand Ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both."<BR/><BR/>By definition, Ms.Wong has not committed any offence under the Syariah laws as she is not a Muslim and thus not subject to it. But she was a party to the actions that may lead to the "prosecution" of her then boyfriend. What went on inside the house when they were together is anyone's guess but I would guess a fair bit of hanky panky. If so, then the more severe punishment of Part IV, Section 23, Sexual Intercourse Out of Wedlock, could apply, viz,<BR/><BR/>“Any man who performs sexual intercourse with a woman who is not his lawful wife shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding five thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or to whipping not exceeding six strokes or to any combination thereof.”<BR/><BR/>As an elected ADUN and EXCO member, her seemingly innocent love affair with a younger "toy boy" Muslim man has manifested into a ghost that will haunt her for rest of her life. It will be harder for her now as a law maker to justify why she went out with a Muslim man in the first place and why they cohabited knowing full well that such action is not tolerated under the Islamic law and the Muslim culture.<BR/><BR/>I think it has done irreversible damage to her image and others will take the opportunity to ridicule and taunt her if she still remains as a public figure and in office. The noblest option is for her to resign and retire gracefully. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I do sympathise with her but my sympathy will not correct her misjudgement. Sad but true, a broken glass remains a broken glass; no amount of glue can put back the pieces.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your time to hear my side.<BR/>RegardsTaMaDe299https://www.blogger.com/profile/12286462868066904826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934177496939994156.post-76619749127867125102009-02-21T22:32:00.000+08:002009-02-21T22:32:00.000+08:00所谓的私领域,就是私人的空间。我觉得在私人的空间,做想做的事,但却不干扰到别人的行为是没错的。但偷拍...所谓的私领域,就是私人的空间。<BR/>我觉得在私人的空间,做想做的事,但却不干扰到别人的行为是没错的。但偷拍就错了。<BR/>女人长得美丽,穿着暴露是没错的。但强奸就错了。<BR/>就是说不管人家的行为有多坏,道德有多差,人格有多贱,你也不可侵犯。你侵犯,就是错了!阿土伯https://www.blogger.com/profile/00493632099672172392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934177496939994156.post-49612052146994444272009-02-21T17:34:00.000+08:002009-02-21T17:34:00.000+08:00假如本身有道德观念的话,我想也不会有这种现象出现了。当这些事情发生时,大多数人只在说同情及受害,偷拍...假如本身有道德观念的话,我想也不会有这种现象出现了。<BR/>当这些事情发生时,大多数人只在说同情及受害,偷拍的罪恶,却没去观注在他人本身的道德及人格的素质上,是否意味着这他人是对的?Chenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13939267065472999112noreply@blogger.com
