DESPITE his age and poor health, many younger women are willing to marry veteran radio performer Ibrahim Othman.

The 83-year-old expressed his wish to marry again in a Metro Ahad interview on Feb 10 .

Pak Berahim, as he is called, said he wanted a wife as his seven children have abandoned him.

Ibrahim has been staying at Pusat Jagaan Al-Fikrah Malaysia (Fikrah) in Sungai Sekamat, Kajang, for the past three months as his mobility has been affected by neurological problems.

Ibrahim's wife Kamariah Abdul Majib died in 1985.

“I want a wife. I do not mind her age or if she is local or Indonesian, as long as she sincerely wants to take care of me.

“If she is willing to marry me, she will inherit all my possessions, including a bungalow in Taman Keramat worth between RM1.5mil and RM1.8mil,” said Ibrahim who acted in the drama Kebun Pak Awang.

Following the interview, 13 women, including a 23-year-old single mother, have expressed interest in becoming Ibrahim's wife.
