A 43-year old Malaysian hawker in Singapore has appealed to the police to help search for his wayward wife.
The man, identified only as Guan, told reporters that his wife Zheng Su Ying, 39, that she had abandoned her family because she was so infautated with gambling in a casino.
Zheng, a coffeeshop assistant in Ang Mo Kio, first entered the casino eight months ago and had not been able to stop gambling since.
She called Guan two weeks ago to tell him that she was leaving him, their daughter, 10, and son, 3, as she could not stop gambling.
She told Guan that she was a bad wife, and asked him to find another woman. Zheng has also declared that she would not return to Malaysia.
The couple had been married for 19 years and Zheng has been working in Singapore for a long time.
Her first visit to a casino was when her former boss brought the staff to Resorts World Sentosa.
"She told me even if she had no money to gamble, she would be happy just hearing the sounds made by the jackpot machines," Guan said.
Guan visited the coffeeshop where Zheng worked but her supervisor told him that Zheng has quit and had her work permit revoked some time ago.
The whereabouts of the woman is unknown.
