Billionaire accused of "touching" great-granddaughters

Ming Pao

Chen Din-hwa
More family scandals involving Hong Kong billionaire Chen Din-hwa were exposed following a squabble between his daughters over his fortune. After suing her younger daughter Vivian Chen Wai-wai, his 86-year-old wife Yang Foo-oi has filed for divorce. Yang claimed that he had "touched" the intimate areas of their great-granddaughters - aged five and eight - in a car while they were heading to a Halloween party in October. She also alleged that Chen "sexually harassed" the nurses and domestic helpers. She said the husband's "unreasonable behaviour" has resulted in her not being able to live with him anymore.

However, outsiders understood that the allegations were somehow linked to the dispute between the daughters – Wai-wai and Wai-fong. Yang is backing Wai-fong in the squabble over the US$3.2bil wealth of the Nan Fung Group founder, who is also the eighth richest man in the Special Administrative Region.

But the 87-year-old "King of Cotton Yarn" might not know this as he is said to be suffering from Alzheimer's. A Hong Kong court has earlier pronounced him mentally incapacitated. Lawyers have analysed the issue and said whatever the allegations were, Chen would not be able to defence himself.

If the couple are divorced, Yang could demand part of Chen's wealth although he had written a will to donate 95% of his fortune for charity after he dies, they said. But now that the tycoon is still alive, the wife could still share his assets, said the lawyers. Last week, Yang filed a lawsuit against Wai-wai, who is now the chairman and managing director of Nan Fung.
