In another twist of the long-running feud between father and son, Dr. Lam Cheun-lung sued his father, Lam Sing-yin, 72, for distributing defamatory posters near his clinic in Lam Tin and his children’s schools in Mong Kok and Kowloon Tong.
The posters accused him of cheating the elderly man of his money and properties. They also claim that the doctor had to repeat three years of education and did not complete his studies until he was 28. He deceived his father into handing over money and shops, then framed him and hauled him to court.
The son testified that at one point he knelt down in his clinic and pleaded with his father to stop disturbing him and his children. Between 2008 and 2009, the son called the police 12 times, accusing his parents of harassment, including confronting him with a knife at the clinic. Later, the son tried to evict his parents from their flat and to sell it.
The son is seeking at least HK$800,000 in compensation for serious damage to his reputation.
Wow, we don’t know who’s worse — the parents or the son.
