'Red card' for Malaysia's footballing cad

Following up on yesterday's story of a Malaysian bride left at the alter by text message, the BBC reports that her ex-fiancé football player looks set to be shown the red card by his team for jilting her.

"Hesmawi Hassan faces the sack after his last minute text message to fiance Norlida left her to face 1,000 guests at their wedding reception alone.

The text message that left twenty-three-year-old Norlida Abdul Rahman devastated arrived at 0200 on the morning of her wedding which read simply "we were not meant to be together".

But Norlida's family had already invited the entire neighbourhood for a traditional Malay wedding feast. The bride went through with the party while the cowardly groom disappeared.

He has yet to face his team mates, all of whom had been invited to the ceremony.

Now the deputy head of the state football association has cried foul and says Hasmawi's contract will be torn up for tarnishing the game's image."

And The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the bride is suing her groom for damages.

"I have already instructed my lawyer to take the necessary legal action," she was quoted as saying by the newspaper The Star on Wednesday.

"This should not have happened to me and it hurts. I cannot describe the embarrassment it had caused me and my family."
