Do not fret Eli. The people have your back.

Recently, the Sultan of Selangor expressed that he was upset with the way some of us are handling Elizabeth Wong's case. He said it was not to be of his personal interest and will leave it to the authorities to decide on her case.

Indeed, it is an issue of her personal affair. Who are you to judge her? According to the law, unless prohibited by a statute and otherwise immoral, any consensual sexual relations between adults would not constitute to an offense. Such conduct in personal life have absolutely no relevance to the ability of a person to perform her public duties, and perform it well.

People of her constitution have appealed and hoped that her letter of resignation would not be accepted as they still want her as their assemblywoman. They said she has an excellent track record and has carried out her duties well. This incident should not be a setback and should be overlooked. Her people are merely shouting out to her "no one can replace you, Eli".

I hope no one does.
