Religious studies give jailed former feng shui master Peter Chan different focus – but he is still trying to clear name over forged will of late billionaire Nina Wang
- Chan, 59, says he has completed two distance learning courses from Baptist Theological Seminary since being jailed in 2013 and is now on his third one
- He has filed a civil lawsuit in mainland China and is seeking a public apology from various parties involved in the legal fight over HK$83 billion estate
For the past five years behind bars, former feng shui master Peter Chan Chun-chuen, who was convicted of forging a will to inherit the multibillion-dollar estate of late tycoon Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum, has followed a simple daily routine – pray, jog for an hour, and eat healthy.
In a written reply to the Post, via a source in contact with him, Chan, 59, said he had already completed two distance learning courses from Baptist Theological Seminary since 2013, on the Old and New Testament respectively, and had just started another one on biblical studies.
“I hope in the future I can help other discharged prisoners,” Chan wrote. “Maybe start some missionary work, if this pleases almighty God.”
While religion may have given Chan a new direction in life, he is still trying to clear his name through a roundabout route in mainland China after exhausting all legal channels in Hong Kong.
Chan, who was named Tony before he converted to Christianity soon after being jailed, first made the headlines days after Wang’s death in April 2007.
He revealed he was the billionaire’s lover, and later asked the court to appoint him as the sole heir to her HK$83 billion (US$10.6 billion) estate, claiming he had a will made by Wang, boss of the Chinachem Group, in October 2006.
