Shidee Kahwin Muda

I'm clueless when it comes to entertainment gossips. I can't be bothered to read gossip columns and magazines so I make it a point to watch Melodi every Sunday without fail. Melodi does a good job of summarising the whole week's gossips into an entertaining lunch sideshow.

This week's hot topic is popular singer (really?) Shidee's marriage to a young girl who is allegedly the daughter of a woman Shidee dated a few years back.

I found the whole interview entertaining and chuckled a whole lot because the underlying hipocrisy was too much to bear.

First Melodi asked the girl's mother about Shidee's recent marriage. She told Melodi that she knows Shidee well so she refused to say bad things about him. She told Melodi that it is not fair to tell the world that Shidee is a kaki perempuan, kaki judi, etc. Okay...

Then when Melodi inquired Shidee about whether or not he dated his new wife's mother in the past, he was repulsed by the very idea. He told Melodi he would  not do such things. He made it sound like it's wrong to date a widow, like it's a taboo. He said his peminat will not like it if he marries a janda. He then confessed that he knew his new wife when she was in 'belasan tahun' and there were very much in love with each other.

I find this picture very wrong. You see, this is Shidee:

I have nothing against old men who wants to marry belasan tahun girls but it's just wrong to be disgusted by the idea of dating a janda. It can even be politically incorrect because it is our responsibility to protect the rights of widows. With many malay ex-husbands refusing to pay their ex-wives' nafkah, widows should not only be sympathised, they should be prioritised when being considered for marriage, especially for old farts like Shidee.

I may be biased because I have many widows in my family but the idea of marrying an older widow is not a bad one. I once even fantasised about marrying Zaha Hadid. 

Janda kan banyak... experience.
