Doc would rather be bankrupt than pay alimony

A DOCTOR in Singapore declared himself a bankrupt and went to jail four times to avoid paying alimony to his former wife.

Despite earning S$20,000 (RM48,000) a month, he decided to transfer ownership of his clinic to his girlfriend and pretended to be an employee with a monthly pay of S$3,000 (RM7,200).

According to China Press and Sin Chew Daily, the man divorced his wife in 2004. The court then ordered him to pay a monthly alimony of S$5,000 (RM12,000) and surrender S$184,000 (RM442,000) in matrimonial assets to his ex-wife, who won custody of their children.

The man, however, filed for bankruptcy in 2006 and stopped paying alimony in 2008.

His ex-wife, identified only as Amy, 49, said her former husband was charged with contempt of court and went to jail four times for a total of seven months.

“I have been going in and out of court about 50 times in the past six years. I have also quit my job. He now owes me RM240,000,” she said.
