Kuala Lumpur, Sep 14 (DPA) A 107-year-old Malaysian woman, afraid of being abandoned by her current husband, is looking to marry again to overcome her loneliness, a news report said Monday.
The centenarian, Mek Wok Kundor, had married her 22nd husband, Mohamad Noor Che Musa, 37, in 2005, but separated in July 2009 when he was admitted into a drug rehabilitation programme in the capital Kuala Lumpur, the Star daily said.
Mek Wok, who lives in the northern state of Terengganu, believes her husband might leave her after he completes the rehab programme and settle down with a younger woman in the city, the daily added.
“Lately, there is this kind of insecurity in me,” she said, adding that she was lonely.
The centenarian said she planned to visit Mohamad Noor soon to express her feelings and if he reciprocates, she was willing to wait for him.
She declined to discuss the reasons why all her previous marriages had failed.
“I realise that I am an aged woman. I don’t have the body nor am I a young woman who can attract anyone.
“I am not searching for a man as handsome as our prime minister, but someone to accompany me in my twilight years,” she said.
