Because of traditional custom there was a female manager of Ng Hon Ko Tso
Managers of ancestral trust are usually male. However, there are exception sometimes. Ng Hon Ko Tso owned a piece of farmland in Tai Hom Village. Before the war, Ng Ying Pui (Ng Fat Chuen’s father) and Ng Tso Hing ran two bean sprout factories there. After the end of the war, the clansmen went to the District Office to re-register the title of the land, but Ng’s father were already gone missing and Ng’s himself was under 21 years old (the legal age for registration). In that case, no male decedent of Leung Yam branch met the age requirement. The government asked Ng’s mother to represent the Leung Yam branch. Other men in the clan also persuaded her, saying, “Pui’s woman! You have to do this!” Hence she agreed to be a manager for Ng Hon Ko Tso and became one of the title holders.
