Wong to quit, another bukit by-election?

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 - Selangor exco and Bukit Lanjan assemblywoman Elizabeth Wong is expected to announce her resignation from both posts today following circulation of her nude photographs.

She has called for a press conference at the party headquarters in Tropican at 11am. It is learnt that the party leadership met last night to discuss the controversy.

The human rights activist and environmentalist will be the third politician in recent history to quit posts due to such photographs or video. The first was then deputy speaker of parliament D.P. Vijandran in 1989 who quit after pornographic tapes featuring him surfaced. Last year, Health Minister Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek resigned on New Year's Day over similar circumstances.

Apart from the possible by-election in Bukit Lanjan, the Election Commission has already fixed April 7 for by-elections in Bukit Gantang parliamentary seat in Perak and Bukit Selambau state seat in Kedah. The nomination day for both is March 29.
