KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia's health minister, a married man with three children, stepped down Wednesday amid a scandal over a secretly filmed sex video that caught him committing adultery with a female friend.Health Minister Chua Soi Lek was seen performing sexual acts with the woman in a hotel room. A one-hour DVD recording of the episode began circulating last week, and Chua acknowledged on Tuesday he was the man in the video. He described the woman as a "personal friend" but refused to elaborate.
The 61-year-old former physician has been a fast-rising government official in recent years, but the scandal turned into a high-profile embarrassment for Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who brought Chua into the Cabinet in 2004.
