The will presented by self-styled fung shui master Peter Chan Chun-chuen did not match the style of Asia's richest woman Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum, her younger sister said yesterday.

Medical doctor Molly Gong Chung-sum, 70, told the Court of First Instance that her first impression of the 2006 will was "impossible" and "definitely not the style" of Wang.

"She won't put down things in this style," Gong said. "That is not her language."

She also said that Wang did not tell her she had executed a will in 2006.

The 2006 allegedly forged will presented by Chan stated that "all of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate" would go to Chan.

Wang was seriously ill in late 2006 and died of cancer in 2007.

Gong said she saw a copy of the allegedly forged will for the first time when it was handed over by Chan at L' Hotel in Causeway Bay on April 7, 2007.

Chan, who has changed his name from Tony, is accused of forging the will in Wang's name between October 15, 2006, and April 8, 2007. The will bore the date October 16, 2006.

The 53-year-old has pleaded not guilty to one count of forgery and one count of using a false instrument.

Gong also told the court that when Wang fell victim to cancer in 2004, she came to know that Wang had been using a high dose of oestrogen.

"No one knew about it before that diagnosis," she said. "She kept it a secret."

The court heard that a fung shui master told Wang she was destined to have a child in her life.

Gong said: "I assumed or suspected that somebody must have told her that she was able to bear a child, that's why at such an advanced age, she took such a high dose of oestrogen."

The hearing continues.
