A Malaysian woman, who fell victim to an online romance scam and accumulated substantial debt, became agitated when the deception was revealed, even resorting to assaulting her husband in the aftermath.
The incident came to light after Gao, a 47-year-old Chinese businessman from Kajang, Selangor, disclosed that earlier this year he discovered his 45-year-old wife was involved in an online affair, prompting him to file for divorce in June.
At a press conference, Gao shared that his wife had exhibited signs of emotional instability for 15 years but had consistently refused to seek medical treatment.
Her situation deteriorated after she fell for an online romance scam, incurring significant debt that exacerbated her emotional outbursts.
Gao explained that they had been married for 16 years and have four children aged between six and 15.
