A Malaysian minister said to be in a gay sex video attended the weekly Cabinet meeting yesterday (June 12) but it was before the video was released to the public.
Malaysian newspaper, The Star reported that the minister was seen at the Malaysian Prime Minister’s Office at the Perdana Putra Complex before the Cabinet meeting.
Muhammad Haziq Abdul Aziz, who is the senior private secretary to Deputy Primary Industries Minister Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin, named the minister in a video posted on his Facebook page.
The video, showing a man who resembles the minister engaging in sexual acts has started to spread early yesterday morning.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) activist Numan Afifi condemned Haziq for associating sex scandals with corruption, saying it is an insult to the lives of young people to be deprived of basic livelihood and dignity because of their gender identity and sexuality.
Numan’s statement came in the wake of a gay sex video of a man, purportedly a federal minister that has gone viral, followed by a confession by the man who then asked that the minister be probed for corruption.
“It is so insulting to see these sex scandals being associated with a vague mention of corruption – as if you are a corrupt politician, then you must be ‘sexually deviant’ somehow,” Numan says on his Facebook page today.
