Malaysian PM to remarry
Ap, Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia's prime minister said Wednesday he is in love again and will remarry this week, although his affection for his late wife remains strong. Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, 67, said he and Jeanne Abdullah, 53, will be married Saturday at the prime minister's official residence. Only close relatives will attend. Abdullah's wife of 40 years, Endon Mahmood, died of breast cancer in 2005, and the prime minister captured the hearts of many when he broke down in tears during her funeral. He said that he has known Jeanne, a "simple and friendly person," for about 20 years, and that they developed feelings for each other a year ago. "My love for Endon remains as strong as ever, but I have fallen in love with this one," Abdullah said. "Jeanne also loved Endon."
