A man has called the police to help search for his wayward wife.
Mr Guan (43, hawker) from Malaysia told reporters that his wife Zheng Su Ying, 39, is now so infautated with the casino that she has abandoned her family.
Mdm Zheng, a coffeeshop assistant in Ang Mo Kio, first entered a casino eight months ago and has not been able to stop gambling since.
She called Guan two weeks ago to tell him that she is leaving him and their daughter, 10, and son, 3, for the casino.
She told Guan that she was a bad wife, and has asked him to find another woman. Zheng has also declared that she will not be returning to Malaysia.
The couple has been married for 19 years and Zheng has been working in Singapore for a long time. Her first visit to a casino was when her former boss brought the staff to Resorts World Sentosa.
"She told me even if she has no money to gamble, she is happy just hearing the sounds made by the jackpot machines," Guan said.
Guan has visited the coffeeshop where Zheng worked but her supervisor told the man that Zheng has quit and had her work permit revoked some time ago.
The whereabouts of the woman is now unknown.
