The Guy in Red Was A Malaysian Health Minister Until a Sextape Scandal

Posted by Bryan Christian

Malaysian Minister of Health Chua Soi Lek has resigned following his infidelities being revealed in pretty much the worst way we can imagine: by having them secretly videotaped and then dropped in random mailboxes.

The discs were reportedly dropped into the postboxes of selected houses and shops in Muar and Batu Pahat. Residents found the discs on Sunday morning.

The name of the minister involved is said to have been written on the DVD cover.

 Mike Nizza at the New York Times reports that the two-volume opus was even "peddled on streetcorners" like pirated copies of Harry Potter or something. Yeesh, huh?

The craziest thing about this story to us, though, is that whoever clandestinely taped Mr. Chua and his "personal friend" is being sought for unlawful distribution of obscenity, (which might explain why most of Chua's initial statements regarding the matter could be boiled down to "I didn't make the tape myself").

Police are investigating the distribution of the DVDs containing obscene material under Section 292 of the Penal Code.

Amer advised those in possession of the DVDs to hand them over to the police.

Scanner is advising anyone in possession of the URL for those uploads of those DVD's to hand them over to us in the comments!
