Wang used fung shui in legal fight
Late billionaire's sister says she gave adviser her solicitors' details and court transcripts in fight with father-in-law over missing husband's will
Late billionaire Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum turned to fung shui during a legal fight with her father-in-law over the will of her missing husband, a court was told.
Her younger sister, Tong Kung Yan-sum, testified yesterday in the Court of First Instance that one of Wang's fung shui advisers, "Professor Liu", had asked for the names and birth dates of her solicitors in the lawsuit against her father-in-law, Wang Din-shin. She also gave Liu the transcripts from every day of the Court of Final Appeal trial in 2005, Tong said.
"Professor Liu told her he would observe the constellations to determine the fung shui," Tong told the court.
She said Liu also suggested that Wang install a big wind wheel to bring good luck and a fung shui tripod at the headquarters of Chinachem - the company founded by her missing husband, Teddy Wang Teh-huei.
Andrew Kan, defence counsel for Peter Chan Chun-chuen - who has changed his name from Tony - said Liu had carried out a fung shui ceremony to improve her chances of winning the will battle with her father-in-law.
Chan, 53, is standing trial for allegedly forging Wang's will. He has pleaded not guilty to one count of forgery and one count of using a false instrument.
