Ramon Navaratnam, president of Transparency International Malaysia.
Why should she resign, why is it unmoral? It is the peeping toms with disgusting principles of their own who should quit. They should not be allowed to waste our time over such frivolous issues, when the whole economy is sinking like a stone.
Ragunath Kesavan, vice-president of the Bar Council
I do not see what scandal there is in a woman who was being photographed without her permission. A scandal implies that wrongs have been done. The only wrong that has been done here is the breach of her privacy.
Anwar Ibrahim, Opposition Leader
I can only use the strongest possible terms to condemn the smear tactics used against her. One can only wonder to what depths the people behind this will stoop to achieve their aims.

The last few days must have been trying and stressful for her and her family. We hope the mass media will give her the breathing space she deserves.
Let us hear from Najib first on morality.
Zaid Ibrahim, former de-facto Law Minister
Politics is never clean, but this is a new level. I feel sorry for her, but whether she should stay or not is for her to decide.
Whether she should resign as a state assemblyman depends on the constituency. If they say she should not, she should not.
Personally, I don’t think she should resign as an assemblyman unless the people of Bukit Lanjan are so angry with her. If they can accept her, she should stay.
Nazri Abdul Aziz, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department
I sympathise with the executive councilor. This thing should have not happened as she is the people’s representative and she has been performing her duties.
Therefore, to foil what she has done for the community in this manner is not good. But I hope her spirits stay strong and she will not bother about what has happened.”
Chua Soi Lek, MCA deputy president
I can only say that she has my sympathy and support. I feel that she has done the right thing by offering to resign and I fully agree that everyone has the right to privacy.
Wong must stay strong and be brave to face the storm. This is not the end of the world.
Chew Mei Fun, MCA Wanita chief
We are outraged by such shameful acts of using women as sexual objects. It is an outright invasion of the privacy of women as well as an exploitation of women for political use.
We would like to advise all women to be cautious. We also urge the government to strictly enforce implementation of the Act which provides for punitive measures so that it becomes a real deterrent against such detestable behaviour.
Noraini Ahmad, Deputy Human Resources Minister
Regardless of who, we have to have respect their privacy and it has to be protected. We should also educate society to refrain from invading people’s privacy.
Teresa Kok, DAP leader and senior Selangor exco
Definitely each and every exco is going to be targeted and it is just a matter of who is next. Why should she resign? Our job is to serve the people.
It is not similar to the sex scandal involving former Health Minister Chua Soi Lek because he was a married man and he was engaged in something that was morally wrong. Wong is still single and this incident happened in her private life and in her private home. She did not steal another person’s husband or anything of that sort.”
Lo’ Lo Ghazali, PAS MP for Titiwangsa
Whose photographs would be circulated after this? It is as if these people who circulate such photographs have nothing better to do.
R Sivarasa, Subang MP
It is a gross invasion of privacy.
