M'sian woman sues over late ex-hubby's millions

For the 12 years they were married, a Malaysian woman believed that her Singaporean husband had no financial means to support the family.

When she filed for divorce in 1998, she did not seek maintenance for herself, and neither did she ask for their matrimonial assets to be divided.
