More great stories from the Malaysian press. WaiWai would be proud!

I wonder if these stories being run in the Malaysian press is a subtle attempt to discredit Singapore. Or at least make it sound as wacky as Malaysia.

Husband's organ donor is wife's lover

A BUSINESSMAN who was given a new lease of life after receiving a kidney transplant found out later that the donor was his wife's lover, China Press reported.

The daily quoted the businessman, in his 40s, who said that the man had saved his life but took away his wife.

Things got worse when he realised that the biological father of a child whom he had regarded as his own was actually that of his wife's lover.

The Singaporean, known as John, had been suffering from kidney problems for seven years and started undergoing dialysis in 2007.

"My wife told me one day that a friend of her buddy named Peter was willing to donate one of his kidneys and I was so touched," he said.

"Two months after undergoing surgery in August 2008, my wife of 12 years told me that she had been sleeping with Peter since 2006."

"I had wanted to reconcile with her for the sake of the child but a private investigator I hired found out that she was still on good terms with her lover and this disappointed me," he told the daily.

> Sin Chew Daily reported that a widow in Singapore has slept with at least 24 men in two years, including a married man resembling her late husband.

The daily said the businesswoman had to "pleasure herself" during the six months after her husband's death from a heart attack.

A few months later, she met a man, who looked like her late husband, and began pursuing him with expensive gifts.

He became her lover but they broke up six months later as he could not fulfil her desires.

She began picking up men in various night clubs and could not focus on her work even after consulting a psychologist.

She has since met a divorced man, in his 50s, who was able to satisfy her.
