Kuala Lumpur (The Star/ANN) - 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 Malaysia's Chinese newspaper, 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.
