Confessions of an Idllyic Mind

I've posted several ridiculous news articles prior to this one but i think this is seriously the icing on the cake. This piece of news reminds me of what Pastor Jeff once said when he came to speak in our church. He said that sometimes our hearts meant well but our actions prove otherwise. The heart is correct but the brain (way of trying to convey your kind heartedness) is wrong.

Got this article from The Star online. Enjoy ...

Widower offers to marry ageing prostitutes
By R.S.N. MURALI

KUALA TERENGGANU: “I am willing to marry them.” This is the offer by a Kuantan widower to 10 ageing prostitutes here, one of whom is a great grandmother.

The 54-year-old man said he was prepared to take three or more of the prostitutes as his wives as he felt pity for them and wanted them to stop their flesh trade.

The man had written to several government agencies here expressing his intention after reading about the women's plight in a Malay tabloid.
The prostitutes from Kampung Tiong here, most of whom were in their mid 50s, were reported to be facing hard times due to dwindling “costumers” as many were already grandmothers.
The report had said the women were soliciting for “clients” from two houses in the town centre. They had been in the flesh trade for over two decades.
The widower expressed loneliness as his wife had passed away for sometime now and said he did not mind marrying the women.
He wanted them to give up their undesirable activities as they were all growing older and needed someone to care for them.
“I don’t care who they were previously. But if I marry them, they should be loyal to me alone and take good care of me as their husband,” he stressed.
The man pledged to provide shelter, food and clothing to the women and treat them equally if they were willing to be his companions.
“They can look after my welfare and cook for me. We can all live happily ever after,” he added.

State Islam Hadhari and Welfare Committee chairman Datuk Rosal Wahid said they had no objection if the man was sincere in his proposal.
“No one can stop him if he does not mind the women's past and is willing to accept them,” he said yesterday.
Rosal added that the state government had on numerous occasions attempted to counsel these women, hoping that they would stop their activities but to no avail.
“My only word of advice is that the man should be sincere in his offer. He should, however, not be overzealous and just marry one woman first.”


HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm in the computer lab as i'm writing this and i just cant help laughing at this piece of junk news. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm sure this man meant well by providing for these women. Someone has to take care of them. Hey! Why not him? HEllo!!!! You could provide for them by either building them a shelter or giving them donations isnt it? No no.. Marry them all, keep them in the small/medium sized house of yours, make them fight to their death for your attention/company, and make them cook and clean after you????????? Them living happily ever after??? What he thinks that marrying all of these ladies all at once is a fairytale come true? He thinks this is the modern tale of a Prince Charming (?) rescuing the damselSS in distress in the village of the damned and saving them from dwindling economy is it? "Oh those damselSSS needs my help! I shall sweep THEM off THEIR feet and carry them all onboard my mighty steed and we shall ride off in the sunset towards my castle on the hill!" Use your brain use your brain!!!! You think cheap r financing all these women and they have grandchildren and children somemore. You wanna end up on one of the series of NONA discussing the woe of your family and end up asking for donations from the public???? "help me and my LARGE extended family. I had to marry them to rescue them from their flesh trading ways. Now 3 of them just agve birth and I have no money to feed all of them. Pls help by donating money, diapers etc etc ..."

Good intentions? I DONT THINK SO!!

Sorry if i sounded mean and cruel on this one. I "MEANT WELL"
