"Little Sweet" as she is popularly known for her pigtails
Geomancer, Tony Chan Chun-Chuen, and the Chinachem Charitable Foundation both show no signs of loosening their grips on the estimated US$2.4 billion that Chinachem Group chairlady, Nina Wang Kung Yu-Sum, left after her death in 2007. The charity is accusing Tony, Nina's partner of 14 years, of forging the will that entitles him to the money.
Nina had been charged of will forgery of her own back in 2002, when she went against her father-in-law, Wang Din-Shin, for $128 million left by her husband and owner of pharmaceutical company The ChinaChem Group, Teddy Wang, who was assumed dead after his second abduction in 1990. Although she lost the fight, Nina went on to expand the company to encompass property development, and became the richest woman in Asia.
After trying the "mental incapacity", "under the influence", and "forged signature" angles, Chinachem Charitable Foundation's latest tactic is the claim that the 2006 will signing the estate to Tony was in fact meant to be burned during the Buddhist funeral rites, making it inauthentic under law.
Representatives of the court state that the task at hand will be to determine Nina's belief in such rituals.
