Former Chairman Stephen Wong Wang-sang of publicly listed Skyworth Digital
Holdings Limited kept a low profile at the ongoing annual session of the top
advisory body but reveals his plans to visit electric appliances markets and
some business partners in Beijing.
Wong, 48, is a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's
Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). The advisory body opened its annual
full session on Thursday.
Local Beijing News reported Friday that Wong declined to disclose any
progress about the accusations of the Independent Commission Against Corruption
(ICAC) against him, which charged him with allegedly misappropriating company
funds. The case also involved Skyworth Digital's former executive director Wong
Pui-sing, 37.
The Beijing-based newspaper said Wong Wang-sang took a direct flight to
Beijing Thursday after he got the greenlight to leave Hong Kong, without
attending a welcoming ceremony his former peershad prepared for him at the
company headquarters in Shenzhen, the boom city neighboring Hong Kong.
Wong is reportedly "very happy" to attend the top advisory session in the
national capital, but kept himself away the spotlight as much as he could.
The report also said Wong's lawyer, 53-year-old Andrew Lam Ping-cheung, is
one of the four Hong Kong-based solicitors arrested Thursday for the allegedly
conspiracy to pervert the course of public justice in relation to ICAC's
corruption investigation lastyear.
A Skyworth spokesman said the company is unaware of the arrest, but said it
does not have anything to do with Wong's case.
