Urn with Anita Mui’s ashes missing from Lantau monastery as family appeals for help

An urn containing the ashes of Hong Kong Cantopop star Anita Mui Yim-fong went missing from a monastery in Lantau Island three months ago. The family of the late singer has appealed for help, stating that the police investigation has made "no progress" and causing immense distress. The urn was discovered missing on July 18 at Po Lin Monastery, the site of the famous Tian Tan Buddha, or Big Buddha.

The monastery, located on Ngong Ping plateau, is where the family had chosen a low-profile arrangement. No arrest has been made, and the family has appealed to the public for assistance, urging anyone who visited the columbarium before July 18 to come forward with any information.
