Anita Mui Yim Fong's brother Mui Kai Ming had a
difference of opinion when he wanted to sue the film company for
infringing on his "Mui Yim Fong" trademark, leading to the
deterioration of their relationship. Mother Mui angrily condemned Mui
Kai Ming for his greed and was even hospitalized from her rage. Mother
Mui earlier announced in the newspapers that she would disown her son.
Mui Kai Ming yesterday held a press conference to "speak for himself",
accusing his mother of accepting money to make him terminate the
lawsuit. He even revealed that Mother Mui in Mui Yim Fong's will
would received HK$ 250,000 for living expenses every month, from which
he would only receive HK$ 20,000. He stated that he definitely would
not be grateful. Mui Kai Ming denied that he had a mistress, but
boldly declared that he had a "girlfriend".
Mui Kai Ming yesterday held a press conference on the streets
of North Point, with almost 30 members of the media covering the
event. Due to the severity of the pandemic and the social distancing
order, the police came to get an understanding and left. In a mask
Mui Kai Ming carried a big stack of document. During the interview
he coughed many times, but he claimed that he already had three shots
of vaccine and had a rapid test.
Mui Kai Ming mentioned the trigger of "being disowned". "One
was the film company's copyright and trademark problem. In 04 I
already registered the (Mui Yim Fong) trademark. Under certain
condition, did Mama take money from someone? I don't know, at first
she was the one who told me to file. Only then did I make this move.
After I did you said to cancel it. It's not like you eat when you
want to eat, when you don't want to you throw it back out. This is
where the problem lies and the trigger to disown me. She was afraid of
legal problems. If she hasn't accepted any benefit she wouldn't need
to be scared. Actually the lawsuit is in my name, has nothing to do
with her. She has no legal responsibility. (Do you suspect that Mama
accepted some benefit?) That's right, I have asked her and she said
no. She also didn't answer why she wouldn't sue. (Are you upset that
Mama backed off in the last second?) You can say that, but you can't
blame the elderly. She is almost blind and deaf, maybe someone is
using her as a pawn."
Mui Kai Ming insisted on suing the film company. "If the film
company intended on handling it, it should've notified me and
definitely needed to negotiate with me. If the compensation would just
be 1 dollar it would be fine, it has to come out and answer to the
public. This is my principle." Currently in financial trouble how
would he pay the legal cost? He said, "This is another problem, those
without money have their way to sue. Does everyone without money die
with grievance, doesn't the law have to be fair?" He showed a lot of
documents to the media and revealed that he had another lawsuit on
hand in pursuit of several hundred thousand in rent. He only asked
Mother Mui to lend him money due to financial problems from being owed
money. She was unwilling, so he owed HK$ 100,000 in debt, which was
also limited.
Would he negotiate with Mother Mui again? He said, "No matter
what, you want to let her loose. She is 98, soon to be 100. However
I would die sooner than her. The past half a year has been very
tough. I am only half alive. Last night I vomited blood." Mui Kai
Ming denied that his mother was hospitalized from him upsetting her.
"At the hospital she still stayed in over a thousand square foot suite.
She is just hiding. When I called her she didn't pick up. The elderly
can be very easily swayed. (Why didn't you listen to Ma and give up
the lawsuit?) Of course I didn't, a person has to be straight. There
is no reason for me to follow you if you are walking crooked. If
anything it's reason over family, different from Ma giving birth to
me. (She has helped you for many years!) She has, but I have arms and
legs too. I am not grateful, I don't have to be at all." Actually
daughter Ah Mui's inheritance supporting Mama was very reasonable, but
she did not have the responsibility of supporting her brother too.
In the past Mother Mui has always supported Mui Kai Ming,
whether she had to of course it would depend on who you would ask.
Mui Kai Ming said, "Do you know how much she gets a month? Every
month she gets HK$ 250,000, I only get HK$ 20,000. It's not a problem
of the amount. I don't really want to talk about the situation
now, it was so long ago. (Ma says you were greedy?) If I was I
would have long ago, every month I only went after that HK$ 20,000?
She even said that she supported my entire family, do you think I
really am handicapped? I have always been working freelance, in
construction, renovation, kitchen. (Are you spending a lot?) What
can I do with HK$ 20,000. I have to support my child, raise my son.
(Your wife says you rarely see your son?) I have to make a living,
how else would I be able to raise him."
When asked whether he was spending more from he was keeping a
mistress, he immediately said, "Everyone is too sensitive about keeping
a mistress, it's not like that at all. Right now people are helping
me, I don't need to spend. I am not giving people more, I am not
keeping anyone. How can I? She is my girlfriend." When asked whether
meeting a girlfriend behind his wife's back was appropriate, he said
without any guilt. "Everyone has a girlfriend, my wife and I haven't
gotten a divorce. I have a girlfriend, even if my wife wants a
divorce I would be fine. (Would this path affect the child?)
Absolutely no problem." Mui Kai Ming coughed many times. Was he
sick? He said, "I want to die, the reason would be to prove to Ma
that I didn't do anything wrong. (Would you like to repair the
relationship?) It doesn't matter, who wouldn't. It's not like she
has a mountain of gold for me to scheme for." She also said that
Mother Mui has already cut off his HK$ 20,000 living expense.
