Malaysia’s minister of health, Chua Soi Lek, announced his resignation today after trying (and failing) to brave a sex-tape scandal. This proves that starring in a raunchy video is an unforgivable act outside of Hollywood, despite Kim Kardashian’s statement that “Everyone has sex with their boyfriend. Everyone takes pictures.†Before the minister’s tape came out, he was dealing with infidelity rumors. Then, he was caught on camera, from FOUR different angles, with a “friend.†The minister didn’t deny that it’s him on screen but wants everyone to know that he didn’t have any part in the making of the video, which was edited into two full-length DVDs. As the minister of health, couldn’t he have claimed they were part of a new sex education effort? [NY Times, The Lede]
