A day after he bravely confessed to being the man in a secretly-filmed sex video and defiantly refused to resign, a bitter health minister and MCA vice-president Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek today resigned from his government, all party posts and as Labis MP with immediate effect. He told a packed press conference in his office here: "I've informed the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and MCA president that I will resign as Health Minister with immediate effect. I also relinquish my post as Labis MP, MCA vice-president, Johor MCA chairman and Batu Pahat MCA head." Datuk Seri Dr Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Chua's decision was an appropriate one, adding that the matter was not discussed in the Cabinet meeting today and that no recommendations had been made. He said a temporary health minister would be appointed, and that the portfolio would still go to the MCA. The prime minister said he did not think that this episode would precipitate a crisis in the MCA.
Just a day earlier, Chua had said in his constituency of Labis that he would not resign as he served at the pleasure of the prime minister and that it was clear why the DVDs, which were reportedly recorded two years ago, were being distributed now. He had also said the woman was his "personal friend".

"Those who have made mistakes or have certain weaknesses as a leader have to be responsible. That is why I come before not only the national and party leaders, but also the rakyat. It seems that I am not accepted," he said in his trademark sarcasm.
He admitted he had "idealised" a situation that the public would accept his apology. "I think I have simplified a complex matter. By doing so (confessing), I thought people would think that I am a political leader with high moral grounds ... after 61 years, I have learnt a lesson that honesty doesn't always pay."
On whether the support of the Chinese community for the BN government would be affected, he said: "No. A lot of people think that I am a baggage to carry because they want to behave holier-than-thou. Maybe the support will increase because they think that all they have in the government are very clean." The whole episode had panned out in a whirl as an old year gave way to the new (Less)
