The niece of a rich widow has successfully obtained court permission to sue the wife of a former China tour guide. Madam Hedy Mok, the niece of 87-year-old Madam Chung Khin Chun, received court approval on Wednesday to add Madam Weng Yandan, wife of Mr Yang Yin, as a defendant in an on-going High Court suit. The duo are alleged to have neglected in their legal duties in caring for Madam Chung and Madam Mok is seeking damages.

IN A dramatic turn of events, the wealthy widow who handed control of her assets to a tour guide from China now wants him stripped of the guardianship. Madam Chung Khin Chun, 87, yesterday asked the Office of Public Guardian (OPG) to cancel the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) which she gave Mr Yang Yin in 2012. The move came after a psychiatrist who examined her last week found that she has the mental capacity to revoke the LPA, despite suffering from dementia. The OPG last night confirmed that it "has received Madam Chung's application to revoke her LPA and is reviewing it".
