    Chu Seok Len & Lam Ah Ngan: Malaysia’s most productive couple: 21 children

    May 11th, 2009

    Last time I remember reading that the world record for the most number of children given birth by one woman is sixty nine, by a Russian peasant in the 18th century.

    My neighbour has 24 children, but from 2 wives (12 children each). Their house was always a riot.

    For a Malaysian woman, the record could very well be 21.

    Housewife Chu Seok Len, 49 and her sawmill factory worker husband Lam Ah Ngan of Grik, Perak has had that number of children.

    The oldest was born when she was 18, and the youngest when she was 42.

    Two were given away, and one died shortly after birth.

    Now get this: apparently all her married children and their spouses and 20 grandchildren live in the same house. Wow, that must be one noisy house.

    Way to go mama, and a belated Mother’s Day wish to all mothers!

    … amazingly, on first impressions anyway, Ms Chu does not seem to have the body of a woman who’ve given too many births, no need to read diet pill reviews there …

    I tot i saw Chua Soi Lek’s name in a glance :) Wow, that’s a big number.. i wonder how they managed to feed all their children and send them to school. Even i only have 3 kids but found it hard to provide the best to them.. ini pula 21 org! I really salute them. Way to go mama :)
