Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum did not weep after she became fatally ill, the late billionaire's younger sister told a court yesterday.
"She never shed a tear," Dr Molly Gong Chung-sum said in the Court of First Instance. "My elder sister told me that she would not die. She told me not to worry or cry."
Gong, giving evidence in the Peter Chan Chun-chuen will-forgery trial, said the cancer-stricken Chinachem chief always obeyed her medical advisers. "Doctors said she was the best patient they ever had," she said.
Chan - known by prosecutors as Tony, his name before his conversion to Christianity this year - is accused of forging a 2006 will that he claimed left him Wang's multibillion-dollar fortune.
Gong said Wang also told her that someone was praying for her to goddesses as far away as India and Tibet. "My elder sister told me that if any one of them helped her, she would be safe."
Gong also said that Wang had attended church when she was younger.
The court heard earlier that Chan, Wang's fung shui adviser, told her he had talked to Buddha and that she would live for another 20 years.
Gong said her elder sister had discussed with her a plan to set up a charity fund similar to the Nobel Prize. But Wang did not want it to be a peace prize "because that would create a lot of dispute", Gong said. Instead, she wanted the prize to be for education and science.
Days before she died on April 3, 2007, Wang had become so ill, she slept all the time, Gong said.
On the second day of his evidence earlier, Wang's younger brother, Dr Kung Yan-sum, said another fung shui master surnamed Liu knew Wang was suffering from cancer.
Kung said he once met Liu in Wang's bedroom at the Chinachem headquarters in Tsim Sha Tsui after she had returned from treatment in the US. She introduced Liu as a professor teaching at a university, he said.
"In my presence, he inserted energy into my sister. He [said] he would absorb her symptoms into his body to make her illness dissipate," the brother said.
Kung also insisted that Wang had all along indicated her desire for her entire estate to go to the Chinachem Charitable Foundation.
Molly Gong will continue giving evidence in court today.
