SCMP Reporter

FILM producer Wong Long-wai had slapped pop singer Anita Mui Yim-fong for being rude and continuing to speak a language he did not understand, the District Court heard yesterday.

  Actor consultant Wong Kam-chung continued his testimony in the trial of mechanic Wong Sik-ming, 26. The defendant has pleaded not guilty to wounding Wong Kam-chung and Wong Long-wai and to claiming membership of the Sun Yee On triad.

  The wounding allegedly happened on May 5, 1992, a day after Wong Long-wai was said to have slapped Ms Mui at Take One karaoke club in Kowloon Tong.

 Wong Kam-chung admitted he had lied about his injuries to a doctor.

  He also admitted telling police Wong Long-wai had suggested he avoid trouble by giving a false explanation for his injuries.

 He repeatedly said he could not clearly recall the slapping incident, but denied to defence counsel he was giving evidence selectively.

 According to a statement he made to police, Wong Long-wai's wife, Wong Leung Siu-ying, said at the karaoke club: ''Let me find out why she [Ms Mui] was so cheeky.'' Wong Long-wai had said there was no need to do so.

 Wong Kam-chung had asked Ms Mui why she was cheeky to his boss. When Mrs Wong repeated the question, Ms Mui allegedly scolded her in English.

   Later Wong Long-wai and Ms Mui had spoken and he had said: ''Don't speak English. I don't understand English.''    When she ignored his words, he was said to have slapped her.

    In other testimony, Mrs Wong said she had witnessed the knife attack on her husband and Wong Kam-chung in Wan Chai on May 5, 1992.

   She recalled another man, who claimed to be ''Yiu-hing'', also hit her husband with a portable phone and said: ''If you have the guts, come and look for me. I am Yiu-hing of Lo Sun.''    In court yesterday, Mrs Wong identified the defendant as the person who allegedly chopped her husband.

   Wong Long-wai was shot dead in hospital on May 7, 1992.

  The hearing continues before Judge Lugar-Mawson.
