4 wives super-hero
This news article from The Star Online amazes me.
54-year old Abu Bakar Embong, a property negotiator, has not only received the approval of the Syariah High Court to wed 25-year old Suhaili Alias, but also the blessings of his three wives.
Good olde Abu Bakar had fathered 11 boys and 14 girls from his three marriages, ranging in age from 25 (as old as his new wife) to four months. He also has three grandchildren.
I wonder what he imbibes? Ginseng, jamu Mak Rima, or budu?
The judge, Shaikh Ahmad, advised Abu Bakar to be fair to all his wives, tend to the religious needs of his children, and take his three wives on a pilgrimage to Mecca. Hmmm, why only 3 and not all four wives?
But 57-year old Mohamed Nor Awang, a lorry driver, wasn’t so lucky in the love game as the same court had deferred its decision on his application to marry 34-year old Suzi Sulong, a clerk. This would have been his fourth marriage. The court feared he could not financially support another wife. But Mohamed had actually received OK’s from his three wives.
I am not sure whether to admire or pity these two blokes or men like them. I suppose I have to kowtow to their superhero abilities.
The thought of supporting just one would be just too scary for me – and what if she demands that I stop blogging, or is an anwarista? Aiyoyo, I may well be in need of a Samy Vellu wig after my hair all drop off in traumatic shock!
… let alone a frightful four! Oh, please give me an 'aw-kau' (Guiness Stout) with 2 raw eggs in it please ;-)
