Wong Lu Yang Viral Video: Malaysian Doctor Issues Public Apology After Being Caught Cheating In BMW

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Malaysian doctor Wong Lu Yang has come under fire after a video circulated online accusing him of being unfaithful with a woman in his BMW. On August 27, Wong released a Facebook video expressing regret and shame, particularly towards his wife.

“I want to publicly apologise to my wife for hurting her,” he said, adding that he had admitted his mistake, sought forgiveness and was grateful she had allowed him back home.“I am thankful to my wife for accepting me once again,” Wong added.

Blackmail claims

Earlier the same day, Wong disclosed in another Facebook post that his family had been targeted by blackmail attempts before the video became public. He said they refused to give in to the demands, which later caused his wife more pain when the scandal surfaced.

“I was sorry for hurting my wife a second time when the accusations were made public, which made me feel pain and regret,” he wrote, explaining that they had anticipated this situation months earlier.
