"Girlfriend": Husband is the third party

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA: A lesbian is stalking her former schoolmate and has even accused the woman's husband of being the “third party” in their "relationship".

The 33-year-old woman, known only as Ong, also threatened to use black magic to win the love of the classmate, identified as Chong.

Ong and Chong were classmates in Penang when they were 13.

Chong, now the mother of a month-old baby, said Ong liked to dress like a man and used to follow her back home after school.

"My friends used to tell me that Ong was interested in me," Chong said at a press conference at the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department.

Her ordeal started in August.

"There was no contact between us when I moved to Kuala Lumpur. But in August this year, she found me through a private investigator and visited my shop to profess her love to me," said Chong, an assistant florist at her husband’s shop.

In one of their encounters, Chong rejected her love. Ong shouted back "Awak bini saya!" (You are my wife) and refused to leave when the security guard asked her to do so.

Ong also used several telephone numbers to call Chong, sometimes up to 10 times a day.

She later met Chong's husband Phuah, 37, and asked him to stay away as he was not her "true husband".

She pasted flyers around the shop and sent letters to his neighbours to say that Chong was her wife and she would wait forever for her.

In a recent SMS, Ong told Chong that she would go to Thailand to seek a witch doctor's help to win back her love. Phuah lodged a report at the Dang Wangi police station on Oct 20.

"I appeal to Ong's parents to stop her from harassing me because I am already married," Chong said.

Department head Datuk Michael Chong said it had four cases related to lesbianism of which three involved school students.
