Wee: Scandal did not affect my life - Star

KUALA LUMPUR: Aug 11, 2008

MCA Youth secretary-general Dr Wee Ka Siong said the front-page report of an English daily that alleged he was involved in a sex scandal had not affected his personal life.

“In fact, my wife laughed about it and told me to lodge a police report when she saw the front page news.”

Asked if he needed to do damage control to clear his reputation, he said his conscience was clear.

He said although the report did not have any direct impact on his personal life or career, he received a lot of “attention” wherever he went.

“People keep asking me, what happened? Why you?” Dr Wee, who is also the Deputy Education Minister, said at a press conference after presenting certificates to students of The Voice Academy at Wisma MCA yesterday.

On Saturday, Dr Wee said his lawyer had sent a letter to the daily on Friday and demanded a front-page apology or be prepared to face legal action.
