M'SIAN RUNAWAY BRIDE
She dupes 10 men into marriage for money
December 13, 2008
SHE met, she seduced, she conned.
Ten men, to be exact.
With her sweet words and supermodel looks, which some of her charmed men claim to resemble Taiwanese superstar Lin Chiling, they fell head-over-heels and proposed.
They not only gave her their hearts, but were tricked into giving money and jewellery, among other gifts.
All this within weeks.
But before anyone could marry her, the bride fled, reported The Star.
One of the victims, who only wished to be known as Mr A, described the 30-year-old woman as tall, elegant and pretty.
'She lived in an apartment in Batu Ferringhi. She was such a smooth operator that none of us realised she was dating other men as well.
They all turn up at once
'It was only after she went missing that all the other grooms found out about one another when we turned up outside her apartment to look for her,' he said.
Another victim, a businessman who also wished to remain anonymous, said he waited outside her apartment for many days until a neighbour told him that many other men had been also been going to her home with flowers and gifts.
'Only then did I realise she had been flirting with other men while in a relationship with me,' he said.
He added that they had made wedding plans, booked a restaurant for the reception and distributed invitation cards to his friends and relatives.
The Star reported that the woman asked for jewellery and a dowry, ranging from a few thousand ringgit to RM10,000 ($4,200) from each husband-to-be.
While she had met the grooms' families, none of the men had ever met their future 'in-laws'.
Sources said a few of the men still wanted to marry the woman and were seen waiting outside her apartment, hoping for her return.
A check with several restaurants in Penang revealed some last-minute cancellations of wedding dinners, though they were not sure if it was related to the case.
