Hubby throws wife out for protesting his game addiction

A MAN threw his wife out of their home in Kuala Lumpur after she complained about his addiction to online gaming, Oriental Daily reported.

The woman, who is a 25-year-old Chinese national, said she met her husband six years ago through a mutual friend. They later fell in love and got married.

Two years ago her husband, 25, started playing the multiplayer online game Arena of Valor.

She initially played with her husband to keep him company, but he then complained that she was not good at the game and started playing with his friends instead.

“He often came home late and did not spend time with me or our three-year-old daughter.

“No matter how much I advised him, he would not listen,” she said.

The woman then logged into her husband’s game account and sold his player achievements, hoping that it would put a stop to his addiction.

However, her husband became furious when he found out and chased her out of their home.

> The daily also reported that a woman swallowed a diamond ring worth RM23,939 at a jewellery shop at Taman Bukit Indah in Johor Baru on Friday.

The woman, who went to the shop with a boy, looked at some rings and then asked for a glass of water.

The ring was then discovered to be missing, but footage from the shop’s CCTV camera gave the wo­­man away and she was later arrested by police.

The 48-year-old Singaporean man, identified only as Lim ,said his wife had asked him for S$24,000 (RM72,800).

“When I refused, she threatened not to come to Singapore. I am the guarantor for her long-term social pass and I am worried that it might be a problem if she does not turn up, so I transferred S$6,200 (RM18,800) to her account,” he said.

Feeling cheated, Lim said he wanted a divorce and cancellation of his guarantee for her social pass.

Lim said he had lodged a police report, but could not do much until her social pass expires in June next year.
