Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakahaua te rangatira o Laura Ashley e £440 miriona te uara ki te utu £400,000 ki tana wahine rangatira ataahua o mua i muri i tana kore i tohe ki te kaiwhakawa he raru'rere moni' tana. I kī a Te Ariki Kaiwhakawā McFarlane i te rā nei he 'he tino uaua ki te mārama' he pēhea te 'ohorere o te rere o te moni' a tētahi tangata o te taonga o Khoo Kay Peng i muri i tana whakapae i hiahia ia ki te marama kia taea ai e ia te tono moni ki te utu i a Pauline Chai. Ko te tokorua, i noho tahi mo te neke atu i te 40 tau, e rima hoki a rāua tamariki, kua rua tau e whawhai ana ki te whakarere. Ko te rangatira o Laura Ashley, a Khoo Kay Peng (matau), e £440 miriona te uara, kua whakahaua kia utua e ia tana wahine o mua, a Pauline Chai £400,000, i muri i tana koretake ki te akiaki i tetahi kaiwhakawa kei a ia nga raru o te'rere moni'. I te tātari a te kaiwhakawa i te wāhanga whakamutunga o te whawhai moni a te tokorua i te whakarongo ki te Kooti Whakapā i Rānana i te wā i korerotia ai ki a ia ko Dr Khoo te nama a Ms Chai tata ki te £400,000. I whakahaua ia ki te utu i te moni hei utu i ona utu noho me nga utu ture e tatari ana ki nga whakatau whakamutunga mo te moni, engari ko ana roia i kii he take'rere moni'. Ko Tākuta Khoo, 76, te tumuaki kore-whakahaere o Laura Ashley Holdings, me Ms Chai, 68, kua uru ki roto i te whakawa mo te rua tau. E whakaaro ana a Ms Chai he £440 miriona te uara o Dr Khoo, ā, e mea ana kia whiwhi ia i te haurua o taua moni. E kī ana hoki ia kua kore ia e hoatu i tētahi 'whakaaturanga tika' o ana rawa, e tautohetia ana e Dr Khoo. Kaore hoki te tokorua o mua e whakaae mehemea ko nga whakataunga mo te tangata e whiwhi ana i nga mea e tika ana kia mahia i roto i nga kooti o Ingarangi, o Malaysia ranei, a kua whakarewahia he whakawa i nga whenua e rua. Ko tā Tākuta Khoo, e noho ana i Malaysia, e kī ana i Malaysia te kāinga o te tokorua, ā, e hiahia ana a Ms Chai ki te whawhai ki Ingarangi nā te mea ka hoatu e tētahi marae Ingarihi he utu nui ake ki a ia. I kii a Lord Justice McFarlane i tenei ra 'he tino uaua ki te maarama' me pehea te raru o te moni a Khoo Kay Peng i te 'raru o te moni' i muri i tana kii i hiahia ia ki te marama kia taea ai te nama moni me te utu i a Ms Chai, he Miss Malaysia o mua. E ai ki a Ms Chai...
Ko Pauline Chai, 68, me Khoo Kay Peng, 76, i wehe i muri i te 43 tau o te marena. Kei te whawhai rātau mō te moni mō te £ 200 miriona i te Kooti Nui. E 400,000 pauna te nama a Dr Khoo ki a Ms Chai hei utu mo ona utu noho me nga utu a te kooti e tatari ana ki nga whakataunga whakamutunga mo te moni, i korerotia ki te kooti. E kī ana ōna roia he raruraru'rere moni'kei te hiahia ia ki te nama. Engari i whakahaua ia i tenei ra ki te utu i te moni ki tana wahine kua wehe atu.
