From Times Wire Reports
Malaysian Health Minister Chua Soi Lek resigned, a day after he shocked the nation by admitting that he was the man in widely circulated sex videos.
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said he had accepted the resignation. Chua apologized after two lengthy DVDs hit the streets showing him engaging in sexual acts with an unidentified woman whom Chua called a personal friend.
Chua, a father of three, said he did not make the DVDs. Newspapers said they were closed-circuit recordings made two years ago in a hotel room.
