A 22-YEAR-OLD man has abandoned his pregnant wife for a Thai girl whom he only met several months ago, the Chinese dailies reported. His employer Chok Khoon Chuan said the man from Kuala Lumpur, known only as Ng, had been married in September. He let his wife stay with her parents during her pregnancy.
“Then, he got to know the Thai girl and they started to get close. “Since then, his behaviour has changed tremendously. He became lazy at work and would avoid telling us anything when we tried to advise him,” he was quoted as saying in the newspapers.
Chok, a renovation contractor, said despite having given Ng some work on Dec 26, he had neither seen him nor received any reply. He claimed that Ng had disappeared with the company car a day earlier.
“His neighbour told me that he left home in the car with the girl and their luggage on Christmas morning,” he said. Ng's father said his son had asked him where he could apply for a passport a day before he disappeared.
He had also returned a laptop that he borrowed from his younger brother, he added. > Kwong Wah Yit Poh reported that the government in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province, had made it compulsory for buy-ers to register before buying morning after pills.
Buyers must now give their names, phone numbers and identity cards when buying these pills at any pharmacy. The Fuzhou Food and Drug Administration, which implemented the rule, said the move was aimed at protecting women from the harmful misuse of these pills.
