Summary
Mui Kai-ming (梅啟明), the 60-year-old brother of legendary Hong Kong singer Anita Mui (梅艷芳), has reignited public outrage after claiming during a YouTube interview that he does not owe his late sister anything and that she owed him. Known in Hong Kong as the "inheritance KOL," Mui has spent decades fighting over his sister's estate, which was placed in a trust following her death from cervical cancer in 2003. His latest inflammatory remarks were made during an appearance on the YouTube program "Ding Feng Sheng" (《鼎豐盛》), where he declared: "Owe? Only they owe me, I don't owe anyone!"
Key Points
- Mui Kai-ming appeared on YouTube program "Ding Feng Sheng" and denied owing his late sister Anita Mui, claiming "only they owe me, I don't owe anyone!"
- He revised his account of the 1990s dog farm loan, first stating it was 300,000 HKD, then changing it to 200,000 HKD, while denying Anita was a guarantor for any loans
- According to testimony during the original inheritance case, Anita Mui allegedly provided 2-3 million HKD to fund her brother's dog farm business in Yuen Long
- After the dog farm failed due to Mui's departure to the United States, Anita reportedly paid over one million HKD to protect their mother from debt, leading her to cut ties with her brother
- Mui's nephew held a low-key funeral for their mother Tam Kam-mei last Saturday without informing Mui, who claims he was "abandoned" and later hospitalized
