According to reports, the husband stopped the car mid-journey and attempted to choke his wife.
He even brandished a knife and threatened to kill her during the heated verbal tussle.
The terrified mother-of-two tried to flee, but her husband stopped her from escaping from the car.
As the car ride continued, things took a darker turn as the couple argued again, leading to the husband pulling over to the roadside and turning more hostile.

Locked in a struggle, the husband pushed his wife out of the car and shoved her off a cliff.
The wife went tumbling down into the ravine, which was nearly 33 feet deep.
Although she was left to die, the woman wasn’t willing to give up.
Despite her injuries, she resolutely climbed her way back up over the course of nine hours, all while keeping her children in mind. She was determined not to leave the kids without a mother, according to the NGO’s account.
It was around 2 p.m. when she finally made her way up the ravine and onto the roadside, where passersby were able to help.

“Her story is heartbreaking. We hope she recovers soon and remains strong,” said Muhammad Ridzuan Osman, head of the NGO that helped with her recovery, according to the South China Morning Post.
Muhammad revealed that the unidentified victim suffered spinal damage, a fractured waist, a broken arm, and other injuries from the terrifying incident.
“Sad to hear his story,” read a translated portion of the NGO’s Facebook post. “For 9 hours she tried to save herself after being pushed into a gorge more than 10 meters deep by her husband in a condition of broken L1-L5 spine … broken waist, fractured hip bones, broken hands, and lungs.”

Meanwhile, the husband was arrested, and local reports said he was expected to be charged with attempted murder.
“A court order was issued yesterday (Wednesday), and the suspect will be taken from Sungai Petani Prison in Kedah for the charges tomorrow,” Perak Police Chief Datuk Azizi Mat Aris was quoted saying last week.
The husband could spend up to two decades behind bars if convicted. His criminal record also reportedly includes an incident of assault on his brother.

Glad he is getting charged. I wish I saw the look on his face when he was told his wife was alive.

AND that he is now under arrest for attempted murder, and facing lengthy prison time! In 20 years his kids will be grown, and any attempt he makes to get to their mother will have to go through them and their partners first. I hope they both grow up big and strong and with a fiercely protective love and respect for their mom.

As the car ride continued, things took a darker turn as the couple argued again, leading to the husband pulling over to the roadside and turning more hostile. Wonder what "they" were arguing about? Maybe that he'd tried to kill her moments before?
