MP Chia strips himself of political posts

ONCE hailed as one of Singapore's most promising opposition politicians, Steve Chia quit his leadership posts yesterday amid a sex scandal triggered by photos he took of his Indonesian maid posing topless. 

Chia, 34, publicly admitted on the weekend to taking the photos after his pregnant wife lodged a report with the police, which led to confessions of adultery and a fetish for posing nude in photographs himself.
