    I think Stanley Ho is my long-lost father, I am entitled to a share of the estate. We don't look alike but genes can be tricky. Worth a shot, I can be bought off pretty cheaply, a few million and I will never bother the estate again...

    I blinked and for a second the 0880 stock price was 8.88 ...
    Shun Tak (242) up over 20%.

    Possibly speculating there will be some reshuffling of ownership?

    With little money but a wealth of family connections, the bilingual Ho thrived. In the interview, he recalled studying Japanese with an Imperial Army officer — a Colonel Sawa — and teaching him English in neighbouring Zhuhai; battling South China Sea pirates during trading runs to Free China; and, after the war, circumventing the UN’s Korean war blockade on communist China.

    If I am not mistaken, most of his assets were divided 9 years ago. There was, as you expect, a struggle among his family members for his fortune. Ho was even alleged at one point to be "kidnapped" by some of his offsprings and forced to sign a will. Nobody outside his family knows the accuracy of these stories, but Ho later publicly rejected any will he signed. That triggered another round of squabbling until a non-disclosure agreement was reached.

    How his estate is distributed is thus a secret. But I suppose we can always guess...

    She is no beauty queen - Jabba the Hutt could be the father. Wonder where that picture was taken - not locally given the warm clothes she and others are wearing.

    Perhaps she could use some of her inheritance to buy a mirror.

    No, it could have taken place locally if it was winter. There are days cold enough to warrant that clothing during the cooler months.
