107-year-old fears her 37-year-old drug addict husband will leave her for a younger woman

Record wedding

Wook Kundor made headlines four years ago when she married Muhammad Noor Che Musa, a man 70 years her junior, with pictures of the couple's wedding splashed across regional newspapers.

To have and too old? Wook Kundor sits at her home in Malaysia's northern Kuala Terengganu state.
Age woes

But Wook is now looking for new love as she fears that Muhammad (37), who is undergoing voluntary drug rehabilitation treatment in the capital Kuala Lumpur, will leave her once the programme ends, she told the Star newspaper.

"Lately, there is this kind of insecurity in me," the paper quoted her as saying.

"I realise that I am an aged woman. I don't have the body nor am I a young woman who can attract anyone."

Lonely

"My intention to remarry is to fill my forlornness and nothing more than that," she said, adding that she felt lonely without her husband by her side to celebrate the coming Muslim festival of Eid ul-Fitr next week.

Wook said she planned to visit Muhammad on the second day of Eid if her neighbours were willing to drive her to the capital.

Muhammad, who was a lodger in Wook's house, had previously said it was "God's will" that the couple fell in love.
