I have been receiving so many sms-es for 3 days in a row about a certain local lady politician who was photographed in the nude while she was in her home that it began to bother me. How could the media be so heartless and cold? How could the people who had possession of the photographs be so cruel? Do they not know that they are destroying a lady's life here? Is it all about making profits or pleasing their paymasters? Is it politically motivated?
I just got a copy of the NST and it has the lady saying that she has been violated. She says that it was a malicious attack on her and a gross outrage of her modesty. Now the NST also quotes the former Selangor MB as saying "She must resign from all her positions. This is about morality. I cannot accept a lawmaker whose morality is questionable'. Now who is he to talk about morality? Is he so clean, trusworthy and efficient- without sin to pass judgment? Is his morality unquestionable? Has he never been immoral? I wonder if he would have said the same thing if a politician from his own party had been exposed in a similar situation. Or if he would have resigned his MB's post if he was photographed naked in his home? Or is he just playing politics & thinking about winning the Umno elections which is just a month away? By my moral standards, by him judging her, he has just exposed his own immorality. With leaders like him, the country is headed down the road to perdition.
I am told the lady is single so she is entitled to have boyfriends isn't she? Now what is wrong with being naked in one's own home? Rumours say she was with her ex boyfriend who took the photographs while she was naked and asleep on the sofa. Is that her fault? It could happen to anyone of us in these days of the 'eagle eye' or should i say 'evil eye'. So what if she is with her ex boyfriend in her home? She is not a moslem. Are we to judge her by the laws of Islam? It is the norm these days for couples to stay together before they get married. That does not make them bad, immoral or dishonest people.
As a result of the circulation of the photographs, she has now decided to resign and that means a possibility of another by election. This is an horrific example of how low some people will go to bring another person down. How much did the ex boyfriend get for selling the photographs? Are her political rivals behind the whole affair? Is there hidden agenda?
The question now arises if she should still be allowed to carry out her duties as an elected representative of the people or should she resign? Some are calling her to step down. A friend of mine told me that people say she should as if she did not, everytime men see her, men will get aroused and excited. Is that her fault or the men's fault? Men being men will undress woman anyway if they are pretty and sexy. So lets not be hypocrites. After all, once upon a time, we walked the earth naked and mated without restraint. Polygamy was the norm. Propagation of the species was the priority.
Now who among us have not been nude in our homes? Or slept nude on our beds or sofa? If not just walking around naked, admiring ourselves in the mirrors of our homes, maybe in the act of pleasure itself? So i cannot see why this lady's private matter has been blown out of all proportions. Perhaps somebody wants to force another by election. There are already two coming up. If that is the case then the means adopted is most evil as the poor lady is now in great humiliation, anguish and misery. I do not think she should resign. I think she is an honest politician as she has not denied that she was in the photograph. We need more honest politicians around. She has even offered to resign. That shows sacrifice- she is not putting herself first. She is being selfless. We need more selfless politicians.
Those calling her to resign are judging her. They think themselves superior over her. They think they are infallible and without sin. They do not look at themselves and the filth in their own minds and hearts. They want to take out a 'saw dust' from her eye when there is a 'plank' in their own eyes. They forget all the good this lady has done in the past, they don't focus on the whole of her life and instead focus on the one 'mistake' that she has made and judge her on that mistake alone. They know nothing about forgiveness as they do not want to let go of her throat. They judge with their moral religous laws but they do not realise that those very 'God given laws' are God's mirrors to them to reveal just how filthy their hearts really are. Mirrors can't clean their filth away. What they need is more love, compassion and mercy when dealing with others. That is the right way to act and to purify their hearts, to become more moral.
I hope that the lady finds all the support, encouragement and love that she deserves and that she will carry on serving the public for the rest of her term in office. I also hope that the media focus its attention on the government's performance in tackling the global economic crisis facing the country that i have been harping about rather than nude photographs of politicians.
