Chancery Hill Rd house lawsuit starts

Dr Wong Meng Leong, the second son of prominent psychiatrist Dr Wong Yip Cheong, took the stand on Monday as the first witness in a lawsuit over a S$7 million Chancery Hill Road house.Two of Dr Wong Yip Cheong's sons are suing his long-time mistress, Mdm Ling Ai Wah, and her son over the ownership of the house.

Dr Wong Yip Cheong, who has been suffering from Alzheimier's disease since 2002, had signed a document in 2004 to make her a joint owner of the house.But his sons now want the High Court to declare that document void.

During Dr Wong Meng Leong's cross examination on Monday by Mdm Ling's lawyer, Mr Cavinder Bull, it was heard that Mdm Ling was not notified when an application was made in 2005 to form a Committee of Persons of the Person and Estate for Dr Wong Yip Cheong.

This is done to manage the assets of a mentally incompetent person.Dr Wong Meng Leong and his elder brother sit on the committee with Mr Wong Meng Weng, the son of Dr Wong Yip Cheong and Mdm Ling.
