MOTORING tycoon Peter Kwee took the stand on the first day in a civil trial over the ownership of five properties held in the name of his daughter Karen, claiming that the properties were held in trust in his favour.
The owner of Laguna National Golf Resort Club is saying he is the true beneficial owner of the properties – a claim which would exclude them from being counted as part of Karen’s bankruptcy estate; it would also prevent their sale proceeds from being distributed among her creditors.
On Tuesday (Feb 4), the lawyers representing Kwee and those acting for his daughter’s estate gave their opening statements. The lawyers acting for the trustee also questioned Kwee.
