office there as the managing director of PTC Systems.
He is accused of stealing a large number of gold items,
all belonging to M.K. Seen kay Kay and Mak Seen Wah, Sylvia.

In the second charge, he is accused of stealing a
diamond necklace belonging to the same alleged victims on Jan 17, 2017, from
the Tak Wing Pawnshop on Des Voeux Road, Central.
No other details of the alleged offences were
disclosed, but court records show an earlier civil case between the accused and
Sylvia Mak was litigated in 2018, which appeared to have arisen from a
commercial dispute.
