Hong Kong tycoon Joseph Lau published full-page adverts – or “announcements” – in several newspapers in the HKSAR yesterday seeking to clarify that he had broken up with his former girlfriend, Yvonne Lui, in 2014.
The announcement, which takes the form of a five-point letter, was issued “to make it clear there is no more relationship between Ms Lui and me, and hope there will be no further untrue reports or speculation in this connection [sic].”
Lau also said that any continuing connection with Lui was solely for the purpose of their two infant children and fulfilling his “responsibility as their father.”
“We confirmed [after the separation] that we owe each other nothing and we have no right to make any claim against the other in respect of our respective assets,” he added later in the document.
Lau was found guilty in 2014 of corruption in connection to the case against Macau’s former Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Ao Man Long. The Hong Kong tycoon was sentenced to jail in absentia for over five years but has been able to avoid the detention by remaining in Hong Kong, which is still yet to sign an extradition treaty with the MSAR.
