Urn with Anita Mui’s Ashes Missing From Lantau Monastery as Family Appeals for Help
The family offered a HK$50,000 reward as police said the missing urn case has had no arrest or ransom demand.
- The urn containing the ashes of late Hong Kong Cantopop star Anita Mui Yim-fong has been missing from Po Lin Monastery for three months, prompting her family to issue a public appeal for information on Saturday, what would have been her 63rd birthday.
- Fans visiting Lantau Island discovered the urn missing on July 18 after noticing loose screws on the compartment door, then alerted the family, who subsequently lodged a police report with authorities.
- Police have made "no progress" in the investigation, causing the family "immense distress," while Anita's brother, Peter Mui Kai Ming, offered a HK$50,000 reward for information leading to the urn's recovery.
- Fan club Mui Nation described the incident as "extremely absurd and contrary to ethics and morality," urging the columbarium's management to review security lapses and calling for a thorough police investigation.
- The incident follows the August death of Mui's mother, Tam Mei Kam, at age 102, as the family navigates compounded personal challenges; Peter was reportedly excluded from the funeral last month.
