A 69-year-old man is asking to divorce his wife, claiming that he has not had sex with his Chinese wife even a year after their marriage. Shin Min Daily News reported on Saturday that the man, known as Mr Huang, is a retired bus driver, who earns a living by renting out two bedrooms in his three-bedroom flat. His "wife", a woman from China in her 40s, had been renting a room from Mr Huang with her daughter for two years prior to their marriage. Mr Huang is also unhappy that since they got married, the woman has not paid him rent for the room.

Singapore's attractiveness as a retirement venue has waned, slipping out of the top 30 best destinations for retirees in a new study.
