Is Cecilia Sue really the victim?

She paints herself as the helpless executive forced into giving oral sex to a top civil servant. She even cries in court, saying the publicity is killing her, and pleads with the judge to ask the defence not to ask ‘insulting’ questions

Snared by an investigation into a corruption case, is Ms Cecilia Sue Siew Nang merely a forlorn woman who fell for the wrong man?

Her statements to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) seem to paint such a picture.

In court, she has also come across in parts of her three-day testimony last week as a helpless victim of cruel and intense public attention because of her adulterous relationship with former Central Narcotics Bureau chief Ng Boon Gay.
