Jessie: Give our marriage a chance
They were taunted name calls such as "Transsexual Drama Queen", "Sinful Couples" and "Man enough to be a Woman". That is what Jessie Chung and her husband Joshua Beh have had to put up with following their much publicised wedding. Jessie and her husband Joshua spent nearly RM1mil on their wedding last Saturday, but since then have been holed up in their house in Kuching, biding their time until the unwanted attention caused by their union abates.
“I want nothing more than peace and quiet. I did not wish for this kind of attention."
“My marriage was supposed to be a happy occasion. It was, and I am "
“We are especially worried about the effect these words may have on my parents, Joshua’s, and our loved ones,” said Chung yesterday.
Too many people including ministers are becoming their judges and are making comments and opinions about the legality of the marriage.
She added that she understood the sensitivities of living in a Muslim country, and would not seek legal recourse to gain recognition for her marriage.
“My marriage is recognised by our parents. I am a woman married to a man. I have a healthy marriage. If there is any issue with God, it is the cross for Joshua and me to bear,” said Chung.
Chung wants a peaceful life after a turbulent journey and wishes for nothing more than some understanding from the media and society.
“Give my marriage a chance. Give me a chance,” she said.
Would we all give her a chance? Can the ministers' just shut up and let another human being created by God, continue her journey on this earth?
To those critics, are thou more holy? In the eyes of the divine, do you think you are better off because you had married the opposite sex?

yeah. i get so 'geram' listening to all those critics commenting on this couple. it's their personal lives for goodness sake... leave them be. you may find what they did was wrong but you are not them, so why kaypo and bising. like jessie said, let it be between them and their god. we all have no right to criticise them as long as both of them are willing and consenting to whatever they do, whatever the outcome, whatever happened, going to happen, and so on.
gee... don't ask them to get a life... you who criticise, go get a life!! hmph!!
Xaph and Lucia,
I hope many more others are like both of you - be empathetic and understand that God had never made us equal.
Like what Jessie said and reminded by Lucia, it is between them and their God; critics should view their own images and ponder their own lives.
Thanks Lucia and Xaph
While I do not disapprove the sex change and their marriage, I think she asked for all the publicity that she wanted. Think for yourself: Would you yourself want to tell the whole wide world that you have a half-a-million house and a lavish marriage? I mean, considering that you are just a normal Joe Public like anyone else. So is she a celebrity? Three albums out? Never heard of them...except maybe for Kenny and Sixth Seal (Kuchingers). Guest host for Radio 5 and 988 radio shows? Never heard of them. Hell...even the 'St.Andrew College Doctorate Degree in Natural Medicine ( USA )' qualification as stated on her website was never heard of. Tried to google for it and it turned out to be a Sixth Form College!
Howsy,
You must have done a good research ...
Can we know more about it?
Just check out jessiechung.com an check out he profile. Most of the information in Chinese. And btw, if you're interested, her vital stats are 36C。25。35.
Oh...I mistyped...HER profile, not he.
looking at the pic, i think most ppl would never have guess that jessie's was guy once, if it wasn't a known fact. but RM1mil for a wedding? that must have been some reception...
I agree with howsy that she appears to want the publicity.
I understand the Singapore papers on Sunday will tell more about "her" story - about having 6 boy-friends and an affair with a lecturer and also a love triangle.
So I wonder why the complaints about wanting a quiet life?
