"This is a moral issue. Previously, (former health minister and MCA deputy president) Dr Chua Soi Lek had also resigned over a similar incident," he told Malaysiakini .

Mohd Khir said when the MCA leader's video-clip surfaced, Pakatan leaders had urged him to relinquish his post.

"So why not now (ask Wong to quit). Don't have double standards," he said, adding that Wong, who is also PKR Wanita publicity chief, should quit "as soon as possible".

Mohd Khir said her resignation would help clear PKR's name.

Otherwise, it will be seen as a party with no moral values," he added.

The former menteri besar also said there is a possibility that PKR did not vet the background of its election candidates because it never expected them to win and form the state government.

Malaysiakini was shown a couple of the photos said to be among those in circulation. One shows Wong asleep naked in bed.

The 37-year-old Pakatan Rakyat politician - also the tourism, consumer affairs and environment exco in Selangor - has been severely traumatised by the release of the photos.

She told Malaysiakini that it was a gross invasion of her privacy.

According to reports, Wong's staff had locked the doors to her office at the state assembly building in Shah Alam this morning.

However, Halimah denied the incident and filed a police report against a pro-Umno website which reported the allegation.
