Unforgiven
By NG SUZHEN February 26, 2009 Categories: News
It wasn’t politics or the weather that residents, office workers and business operators in SS2, Petaling Jaya, were talking about yesterday. The talk centred on a man who had knelt down in front of a parking spot on Tuesday to beg forgiveness from his wife.
Admitting he had cheated on her during their five-year marriage, 30-year-old Kelvin Ng from Ampang made a bunting to profess his love for her, showering her with promises of a better life ahead.
“I know I have wronged her many times in the past, but I just want to be a better husband and father to my family.
”His misdeeds included criticising his wife’s looks in front of his friends, and not being there for her when she was giving birth to their children.The couple has a son and a daughter, aged three and one, respectively.Ng’s story appeared in yesterday’s edition of the Sin Chew Daily.
Those who had seen Ng were divided into two groups. While one group was sympathetic and tried to help him by calling his wife to try and get her to forgive him, the other felt that he had it coming.
When Sin Chew Daily contacted Ng’s wife, she said she was determined to divorce him.
“There was a time when I loved this man very much. But he has hurt me too deeply for me to take him back. He was never a good father and I want what is best for my children.”
Much debate on The Unforgiven

The story of 30-yearold car battery salesman Kelvin Ng begging for his wife’s forgiveness has sparked debate among Malay Mail readers. His story drew mixed reactions, with many expressing sympathy for Ng and appealing to his wife not to be so rash in her decision to divorce him.
However, there were those who said that his wife should focus on moving on with life without him. Malay Mail’s office in Petaling Jaya was swamped with calls from readers yesterday.
“Give him another chance, there is no need for divorce,” said one caller .
Another said: “Separate first and see if he changes before making rash decisions.”
One caller, who identified herself as Jenny, said she represented a group of loyal Malay Mail readers.
“Even though he has made some bad decisions, there is always room for change. Divorce may be too drastic an action. We don’t know if he can keep his promises but t ime will tell. Separation may be the best answer at the moment, they should take some time to cool off and think clearly,” she said.
However, there were those who did not buy it.
“He’s hurt her so much already. She did the right thing by not taking him back,” said a female caller, her voice quivering in anger.
Ng, who has admitted to cheating on his wife during their five-year marriage, gave a public demonstration of his feelings and remorse when he knelt at a parking spot in SS2 on Tuesday. By his side was a bunting professing his love and a promise to his wife that he would change.
He knelt under the blazing sun for 20 minutes ( 20 minit jer ..?!) before sympathetic passers-by convinced him to go home.
His wife has refused to take him back.
“The worst five years of my life are finally over,” she said. “I’ve loved him once before but it’s all over now and I don’t want him to bother me anymore. I just want to live with my children in peace.”
