A 107-year-old Malaysian woman says she is ready to marry for the 23rd time because she fears her current drug addict husband might leave her for a younger woman.
Wook Kundor made headlines four years ago when she married Muhammad Noor Che Musa, a man 70 years her junior in northern Terengganu state, with pictures of the couple’s wedding splashed across regional newspapers.
But Wook is now once again on the hunt for Mr Right as she fears that Muhammad, 37, who is undergoing voluntary drug rehabilitation treatment in the capital Kuala Lumpur, will leave her once the program ends, she told the Star newspaper.
“Lately, there is this kind of insecurity in me,” the paper quoted her as saying, showing a photograph of the smiling, wrinkled-faced centenarian wearing a Muslim headscarf.
“I realize that I am an aged woman. I don’t have the body nor am I a young woman who can attract anyone.”
“My intention to remarry is to fill my forlornness and nothing more than that,” she said, adding that she felt lonely without her husband by her side to celebrate the coming Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr next week.
Wook said she planned to visit Muhammad on the second day of Eid if her neighbors were willing to drive her to the capital.
Muhammad, who was a lodger in Wook’s house, had previously said it was “God’s will” that the couple fell in love.(AFP)
一位一０七歲的馬來西亞人瑞說，因為擔心目前染上毒癮的丈夫可能會為了更年輕的女人離開她，所以準備結第二十三次婚。
四年前，烏可．坤朵嫁給小她七十歲的丈夫穆罕默德．努爾．切．牧薩時曾轟動一時，他們的結婚照片佔據了丁加奴州北部地方報紙的新聞版面。
不過烏可對《星報》表示，她又在尋找她的白馬王子了。因為她現年三十七歲的丈夫穆罕默德正在首都吉隆坡接受自願戒毒治療，她擔心療程結束後，丈夫會移情別戀離開她。
該報引述她的話說：「最近我常常感到不安。」文中也登出這位人瑞的照片，照片中的她面帶微笑、滿臉皺紋，還圍著穆斯林頭巾。
「我知道我是一個上了年紀的女人。我的身材走樣，也不是可以吸引任何人的妙齡女子。」
「我打算再婚是為了填補孤獨，就只是這樣而已。」她補充說，少了丈夫和她一起迎接下週的穆斯林開齋節，她感到很寂寞。
烏可說，如果鄰居願意開車載她到吉隆坡的話，她打算在開齋節第二天去探視穆罕默德。
本是烏可家房客的穆罕默德之前曾表示，他們倆墜入愛河是「上帝的旨意」。

Many consumers are guilty of filling drawers or closets with old laptops, cellphones, fitness trackers and other electronic devices once they are no longer needed. It’s hard to know where to recycle such items, or it seems costly and inconvenient to do so. The world generates millions of tons of electronic waste — also called e-waste — each year. According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
Travel fever is back, and it’s contagious. After years of being kept home during the COVID-19 pandemic, people are once again eager to explore the world. Rather than just book any trip, travelers are getting smarter about how they scratch that travel itch. Microcation Defined as four days or fewer and over 160km away from home, the microcation perfectly matches the post-pandemic mindset. After long periods of remaining indoors, people are making up for lost time by taking short, frequent getaways throughout the year. These brief trips avoid the work-life imbalance that comes with long absences. With only a few days away, one’s
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Gig Tripping “Gig tripping” combines concerts with travel. People fly to see their favorite artists perform — usually abroad—and spend a few days sightseeing before or after the show. While die-hard fans have done this since the 1960s, the post-pandemic travel boom changed the game. Even people who aren’t superfans are now booking international concert trips because they want to make the most of travel opportunities. This trend exploded in the US, as the math makes sense. Domestic concert tickets are so costly that flying abroad for the show plus tourism expenses often matches or even beats the price
