Tainted Politicians Should Exit Quietly

‘TAINTED POLITICIANS SHOULD EXIT QUIETLY’

Wednesday, 30 September 2009

(The Star) PETALING JAYA: Politicians with a “tainted image” should leave quietly, said Kuala Lumpur-Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall Wanita chief Alice Lee.
“Leaders must know when to step down,” she said.
Politicians, apart from being capable and talented, must also uphold morality, she added.
Suspended MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, with a tainted image, should not lead the party, Lee said.
Citing an example, she said Jeffery Archer, a member of the British Parliament and deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, had to resign after he reportedly paid for the services of a prostitute in 1986.
“Even though his wife said that he was a good husband, Archer still had to leave to prevent him from becoming the burden of the Conservative Party,” she said.
Lee said Dr Chua had admitted he was the one in the sex video clip.
“With such baggages, can he still lead MCA?
“Do you think Dr Chua can still bring glory to the party with such an introduction?” she asked.
