Cops probe Soi Lek for alleged oral sex

Summarized from Malaysiakini

One year after Dr Chua Soi Le’s sex DVD scandal led to his resignation from party and government posts, the MCA deputy chief is now being investigated for allegedly performing oral sex.

Selangor Criminal Investigation Department chief Hasnan Hassan, when contacted by Malaysiakini today, said that the police are investigating the sex DVD under section 377(A) of the Penal Code.

Section 377(A) covers carnal intercourse against the order of nature, which states that “a person who has sexual connection with another person by the introduction of the penis into the anus or mouth of the other person is said to committed carnal intercourse against the order of nature.”

The punishment is imprisonment for up to 20 years, as well as whipping, upon conviction.

 

Hasnan said that the police are also going after those who distributed the sex DVD, and ttaht his will be done under section 292 of the Penal Code, which covers the distribution of pornography.

Those found guilty shall be punished with jail term of up to three years and/or fine.

In connection with the investigation, Chua gave a statement at the district police headquarters at Petaling Jaya at 10.30am today.

In a four-paragraph statement issued in the afternoon, Chua, 61, said he went to the police station “to identify a tape following a police report lodged by a resident of Petaling Jaya recently”.

“I told the police it is the same tape as I had identified in January last year… I will give my fullest cooperation to the police,” he said.

He also said that there was an attempt by some quarters to revive the sex tape to continue “to discredit me, to threaten and cow me into silence”.

Rumours have been circulating that Chua’s faction will call for an extraordinary general meeting of MCA to remove president Ong Tee Keat through a vote of no-confidence.

It is believed that the redistribution of the DVD is being seen as a way of keeping Chua at bay.

EDITORS’ NOTE:

The law criminalizing oral sex is an anachronistic piece of legislation which is completely out of place in today’s modern society where it is a common practice amongst couples. Singapore had only recently repealed this law though anal sex still remain a prosecutable act under the law. We are of the view that the state has no right to interfere with the private lives of citizens. What they do in the confines of their own bedroom is entirely their personal matter as long they do not create any public disruption or unrest.
