JOHOR BARU: When his wife left home six years ago, Ooi Teik Kwoi was forced to take on the responsibilities of both a father and a mother for his two children overnight.
The 60-year-old recalled that one day in December 2017, his wife packed her bags and said she wanted to visit her family back in Myanmar.
“I was worried sick, thinking that something bad had happened to her. Later that day, she called to tell me that she was never coming back but did not give any reasons,” he said when met at his house in Taman Plentong Utama here. “I know they were too young to understand what had happened, but I decided to be frank with them as it hurt me to see them waiting for her,” he said.
