THREE filial daughters in Singapore had secretly given all their savings and ang pow money to their mother, who tried to kill them all on Dec 27 last year, reported China Press.
The three, aged between 11 and 14, are now staying with their grandmother. Previously, they lived with their mother who had divorced their father.
The girls had given money to their mother several times without the knowledge of their father and grandmother.
The 33-year-old mother had tried to kill the girls and commit suicide on Dec 27 because she was in financial difficulty.
Luckily, the eldest daughter managed to escape and seek help.
The mother, who has been working in a nightclub since she was 15 until her marriage, is currently homeless.
"I regret what I had done. I have decided to start afresh and will not give up on life as I have three caring daughters," she said, adding that she hoped to be able to live with her children again.
The daughters said they missed their mother but would not cry in front of her as they did not want her to worry about them.
"I have no more money to help my mother but I will start saving again," said her second daughter.
