abstract:Sun Kwok (Chinese:郭新) is a Hong Kong astronomer specialized in the study of planetary nebula. In 1978, he proposed that the exposure of the core and the subsequent initiation of another fast wind, lead to a "snow-plow" effect that creates a planetary nebula.
The tycoons' case will be weakened by the surprise arrest on March 29th, for alleged graft, of two major property developers, reported to be Raymond and Thomas Kwok of Sun Hung Kai Properties, as well as a former high government official, reported to be Rafael Hui.
Founded in 1963 by the company's late patriarch, Sun Hung Kai developed into one of Hong Kong's most successful businesses, and when the elder Kwok died in 1990, he left the reins of Sun Hung Kai to his three sons, with the eldest, Walter Kwok, at the helm.
On Friday, Sun Hung Kai said it has appointed Adam Kwok, 29, the son of Thomas Kwok, and Edward Kwok, 31, the son of Raymond Kwok, as alternate directors.
