> Malaysia's sexual mores in 201* != America's 201* mores.
Can you elaborate? What does that have to with the article? Are you implying that in Malaysia is normal or acceptable for a woman to cyberstalk a guy like this?
He's implying that the teacher's relationship may have not been ok by Malaysian standards. She might be considered "damaged goods" now (note: I know literally nothing about Malaysian culture.) Here in the States, that might have been dealt with through street justice. That nobody really cares about that sort of thing in the US anymore doesn't mean that it's not a consideration abroad. Her romantic prospects in her home country might be potentially destroyed. That's all speculation; and I'm not, of course, justifying her actions.
Judging by her looks and her name, she is Chinese (there is a large Chinese minority in Malaysia). Also, for Westeners in Malaysia its far more likely to get involved with a Chinese than with a Malay girl, because they Malays are Muslims and are usually looking for Muslim boyfriends.
"Westener with crazy Chinese girlfriend" is something very common, judging by what I witnessed in many years living in China.
I had a friend that returned from Japan after breaking up with a Chinese girl that he met there. The aftermath was interesting to say the least. Must be something cultural.
