White Dragon King Chow Yam Nam passed away in Thailand last Saturday at the ag of 76. His disciple Andrew Lau Wai Kung left work and immediately flew there. Eric Tsang Chi Wai who has known the White Dragon King for 30 years two days ago also went from the Mainland to pay his respects and participate in scripture chanting.
They returned to Hong Kong one after another. Lau Wai Kung had a smile on his face but when he talked about the White Dragon King he immediately looked serious. "From last week to September 1, the services will be open to the public, every night from around 9 to 10 scripture chanting will take place. I am still sadden and Madame's emotions are still upset. The news very sudden and sad when everyone received it." Lau Wai Keung several months ago saw Master. At the time Master told him to work hard. Will he attend the September 1 funeral? Lau Wai Keung said, "Work comes first, now I am working on FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (DOH SING FUNG WON). If I will have time I definitely will attend, many business insiders will go too."
Tsang Chi Wai said that he was okay, as for whether he will attend the funeral he said, "I will have to work at the Miss Hong Kong pageant, if the company will permit me to go then I will go." He said that two nights ago he and Lau Wai Keung participated in the scripture chanting until late night.
Nat Chan Pak Cheung said that September 1 will be the Miss Hong Kong pageant finals. Early in the year he saw the White Dragon King, who thought his health was iffy. Ah Lek said, "He said no matter what happened I wouldn't need to go, perhaps it was the end of our destiny." As for dispute over his successor, Ah Lek said, "I haven't heard him say anything at all, I don't feel this needs successors. It should be natural. In 1994 when I was 44, the White Dragon King told me to return to singing. At the time I sang NGOR JI LEK, some things had to depend on timing, location and people. In recent years he has not had anything to ask him, only talked about some very difficult topics."
Has he contacted Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing)? Ah Lek said, "Lau Kar Leung's matter has already come to an end. I am only more familiar with Master. I wouldn't butt into the matter with Shaw's. I don't know anything about it or the contract content."
The White Dragon King's widow and their daughters, son in laws, disciples and others yesterday held a press conference at the White Dragon King Temple. An elder named Lo stated that the White Dragon King had no successor because no one could replace him. As for dispute over the inheritance, Elder Lo said that at this stage the White Dragon King's funeral was the most important. The Master's wife has the complete decision making right about the funeral.
