His target is 40 children
By R.S.N. MURALI
KUALA TERENGGANU: The man who was allowed by the Syariah High Court to take a fourth wife, has fathered 25 children. He hopes to make it 40.
Property negotiator Abu Bakar Embong has been hoping to expand his family with another 15 children but did not want to “burden” his three wives.
When the 54-year-old recently expressed his wish to marry his newfound sweetheart, a woman 30 years his junior, his wives Asnah Jusoh, 46, Mazumi Ismail, 45 and 25-year-old Norazlina Ariffin not only agreed to the marriage scheduled for the end of this month, they also agreed to let their husband spend more time with his new bride.
On Monday, the Syariah High Court here approved Abu Bakar's application to take Suhaili Alias, 25, from Batu Enam here, as his fourth wife.
One happy family: Abu Bakar with his three wives and some of their 25 children at their home in Teluk Menara. Abu Bakar has 11 sons and 14 daughters from his three marriages, the eldest child being 25 years and youngest just four months old.
Asked whether he was still confident of fathering more offspring at his age, the 54-year-old grandfather replied: “I am still strong and foresee no problems”.
He also shared some tips with the media on how to be sexually active even at an advanced age.
Among the techniques he employed was to bathe in the morning by pouring a pail of water on the right leg first before washing other parts of the body.
“This technique is deemed a must for those with several wives,” he said.
