“You are unlucky, so am I. We are unlucky to be picked as pawns. Strangely, we have been used as pawns in this selfish battle,” she wrote.
In the article, Soh also openly contemplates whether to live or die.
“If I don’t , all I can do is wait for my old age. After your death is avenged, I will be reunited with you,” said the 28-year-old schoolteacher, who is carrying Teoh’s child.
Contacted by Malaysiakini , Soh ( right )confirmed being the author of the blog but declined to elaborate.
