SINGAPORE - One of Singapore's most well-known geomancers is embroiled in a court battle with his mistress of 23 years over two properties worth more than $2.5 million.
Better known as Master Hui Jie, Goh Chuen Meng, 47, of Hui Master International Geomancy is trying to prevent Ms Lim Sor Bee, 41, from selling a condominium unit he claims to own.
Shin Min Daily News reported that the fengshui master claimed that Ms Lim, who is also the director of his geomancy company, was also trying to sell a Telok Kurau condominium unit he owned.
Both properties are registered under Ms Lim's name.
He also claims that he had paid for the properties but registered them under Ms Lim's name, after she suggested that he do so to avoid having to include the properties among matrimonial assets to be split in case he has a divorce with his wife.
Ms Lim, however, claims that she had forked out $760,000 for the condominium unit in 2007, and $1.98 million for the terraced house in 2010.
She also claims that Mr Goh had willingly helped to pay for part of the properties as "love gifts" to her to provide security for her future.
Married since 1988, Mr Goh reportedly started an affair with Ms Lim, who was his personal assistant, a year after he got married.
He and his Thai wife have a son and a daughter together.
He also told the court that he had initially wanted a divorce but changed his mind after his wife got pregnant.
