Are you a Centenarian Looking for Love? Come to Malaysia!!!

A 110 year old man, Ahmad Mohamad Isa, says he is ready to marry his 82 year old fiancee, Sanah Ahmad. The centenarian who has 20 grandchildren and 40 great grandchildren told the Malaysian newspaper Utusan Malaysia that he wanted company to take care of him. That report apparently grabbed the attention of his now bride to be, a widow of 30 years and mother of 9, who has asked her to children to contact Ahmad and make arrangements.
"It doesn't matter who she is, as long as she can cook for me," the paper reported that Ahmad said as he was surprised and happy on hearing that he had found a mate. No report yet on when they intend to get married.

Is it just me or have we heard this story before? Nope this is an entirely different person but ironically from the same country. In 2006, then 104 centenarian, Wook Kundor, made news when the world heard of her marrying a 33 year old ex-army serviceman, Mohamad Noor Che Musa. They had apparently been friends and it had developed into love and companionship.

Wook Kundor in 2009

I know what you're thinking, she's got to be rich. You're wrong there again. This according to Mohamad was a union of sympathy and friendship as she had never had any children.

"I am not after her money, as she is poor," Mohamad reportedly said.

They eventually got married but the story does not end there.

In 2009, the then 107 years Wook Kundor said she was looking for her next husband (fyi this would make husband number 23 for her). She said she had fears her husband who was in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital, for a voluntary drug rehabilitation treatment at the time might leave her for a younger woman. We never did get the conclusion on how that story went, but you have to admire that people in their hundreds are still out there and trying to mingle and in a way, doing better than most of us.

Take another example, 107 year old Wang Guiying from Chongqing, China in 2009 put out a personal ad that she was finally ready to marry. Here's the catch, she was chaste all the while. What a catch! Unfortunately, I don't know if she did ever find Mr. Right either. But if she is still with us and still searching, may I suggest Malaysia?
