Nope, that's not happening.
The only son of a late Chinese businessman who left behind $7 million in assets has lost a petition to recognise a will — supposedly handwritten by the old man secretly in the night — that was supposedly handed to him by his father before his death at 93 in December 2012.
In the original — and valid — 2010 will Lian Seng Peng left his Siglap house to his wife, Madam Soh Seat Hwa, and the rest of his estate to his six grandchildren in equal shares.
In the new handwritten version, the house will instead be sold and the proceeds used to set up a charity fund plus give donations to institutions, while each of the old man's six grandchildren gets $100,000 to each of his six grandchildren.
The judge described the circumstances surrounding the new will "suspicious" since Koh Hong seemed to have gone to great lengths in ensuring its validity, reports The Straits Times.
