Illicit sex? Yes, please!

Zul Hassan, Perak Tengah district councillor, has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Or the honey jar, as the case may be. Looks like some guy tried to blackmail Zul, who's facing a corruption charge, saying that he has pics of him having sex with a Chinese national. But Zul wasn't standing for that, so he reported the guy to the ACA. And the best part? His defense was, and I quote:

What is important is that we did not ask for the women. He supplied them to us. If people sedekah (give), don't you want to accept the sedekah?

Fascinating logic, Zul. So is it then alright for the nice traffic cop to accept some money from the guy he pulled over just because the driver sedekah-ed it too? How about this scenario - if I sedekah-ed you some bull's penis or monkey brains, which are considered a delicacy in some parts of the world, would you have accepted that too?

The part I can't figure out is, if the Chinese national was a bribe, which was obviously accepted, isn't he as guilty as the other guy under corruption laws? Perhaps he's learning from his mistakes and turning over a new leaf? Hmmm....

In other news, can you believe that Sanlu, that Chinese milk company knew about the tainted milk since December of last year and didn't do anything about it?? The people responsible should be slapped behind bars and made to drink nothing but their milk formula for the rest of their lives.
