KUALA LUMPUR: The late Cantopop Queen Anita Mui's brother Mui Kai Ming has been slammed by his Malaysian wife Joey for allegedly neglecting their son and having an affair.
It was reported by Sin Chew Daily that Kai Ming, 72, provides a monthly allowance of HK$3,000 (RM1,655) to Joey and their teenage son Richard, who live in Malaysia.
In a statement on Oct 12, however, Joey accused Kai Ming of being "shameless" and failing to support them.
"Can you really provide proof that you sent your entire salary to Malaysia to support your wife and child?
"You say you're withholding proof to spare me some dignity, but let me tell you, I don't need you to save face for me.
"What you've done is utterly shameless. Have you ever thought about how your son feels?" she said.
Joey added that when she brought Richard to visit Kai Ming in Hong Kong last year, they encountered a Number 10 hurricane signal, and Richard caught a fever.
Despite calling Kai Ming for help several times, he allegedly refused to answer.
"You told him that your mistress wouldn't like you talking to him. What you did truly broke your son's heart," she said.
Earlier this month, Kai Ming announced his plans to marry his Thai girlfriend May and said he had already divorced Joey, who is 16 years his junior.
However, Joey claimed that she and Kai Ming never divorced.
In her statement, Joey said Kai Ming wrote an apology letter to her, their son and his mother after being exposed for having an affair with another woman a few years ago.
Joey also called Kai Ming a "scumbag".
