Chong visits Vietnam to trace runaway wives

BY BEH YUEN HUI
KUALA LUMPUR: Cases of Vietna­mese wives running away with their Malaysian children are rising and to intervene Datuk Seri Michael Chong had to travel to Vietnam to help locate them.

The MCA Public Services and Complaints Department chief, who only returned on Sunday, said he got in touch with influential figures through his friends with Vietnamese connections during his three-day visit to Ho Chi Minh City.

Among the people he met were The People’s Committee of Binh Duong province foreign affairs department director Le Phu Hoa, other high-ranking officials, newspaper editors and agents for Vietnamese brides.

Chong said that he received at least 50 cases of foreign wives, mostly Vietnamese, running away with their Malaysian children.

Chong believed the cases were just the tip of an iceberg and said the issue caught his attention because the figure is increasing.

“We are not forcing you to come back and live with your husbands but as a responsible wife and mo­ther, you should come out and solve the problem.

“You cannot evade the issue for the sake of your children’s future because they are Malaysians and only entered Vietnam with a visa, which limits their duration of stay,” he said to the women.

Chong said Malaysian men paid between RM18,000 and RM25,000 each to marry a Vietnamese bride. The sum included dowry, their air tickets to Malaysia and agent fees.

“After a year or two into the marriage, the women would tell their husbands they missed their families and wished to bring their children to go home, so that the kids could meet their maternal grandparents.

“But once they leave the country, some of the mothers and children have never returned,” he said.

Chong also revealed that many men, who went looking for their wives and children, were beaten up or found the family moved to other places.

Some did not even have the addresses of their wives’ homes, he added.

He advised Malaysian husbands to go to Vietnam with their wives or invite parents-in-law to Malaysia for holiday.
