FILM producer Wong Long-wai and his wife Wong Leung Siu-ying were confronted by up to 400 people after the producer allegedly slapped pop singer Anita Mui Yim-fong, the District Court heard yesterday.
The couple and employee Wong Kam-chung went to the Houston Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui East on May 4, 1992, to seek a settlement over the incident earlier that day, defence counsel Jim Chandler suggested.
Mrs Wong denied she had seen that number of people, while giving evidence at the trial of mechanic Wong Sik-ming, 26, who denies wounding Wong Long-wai and Wong Kam-chung with intent, and claiming to be a member of the Sun Yee On triad society.
But she said her husband may have returned to the Take One karaoke club, Kowloon Tong - scene of the alleged slapping - later.
She said she had not witnessed the alleged slapping.
The court heard that in a statement to police Mrs Wong said: ''I scolded Mui Yim-fong because her attitude was very cocky'' and that the singer had been ''talking a lot of nonsense''.
