A senior Indonesian MP has resigned from Parliament after a mobile phone clip of him cavorting naked in a hotel room with a popular singer was passed from phone to phone around the country and ended up on the internet.
In what is being billed as Indonesia’s first real political sex scandal, Yahya Zaini tendered his resignation this morning after a meeting last night with leaders of his Golkar party.
“In his letter, Zaini also offers apologies to all fellow lawmakers if his behaviour has damaged the image of the Parliament,” Agung Laksono, the House Speaker, told reporters.
The shaky one-minute video shows Mr Zaini and Maria Eva, a “dangdut” or Indonesian folk singer, frolicking naked and climbing into bed with each other. It leaked out onto the internet last week, forcing Mr Zaini, who is married, to resign as head of religious affairs with Golkar, the largest party in the predominantly Muslim nation.
Ms Eva, a former Golkar campaigner, made a tearful appearance on television earlier this week in which she admitted taking the footage with her mobile phone camera, but denied distributing it, saying that she had lost her phone, see story
