The board of Hong Kong-listed Sun Hung Kai Properties, which has a market capitalisation of$ 45bn, was due to vote yesterday on the fate of Walter Kwok, chairman and chief executive, the oldest of the three Kwok brothers who steer the company.

A person close to the company, however, said Sun Hung Kai directors grew displeased with Walter Kwok making business decisions on projects and investments that he did not consult the board over, and which the other directors felt were misguided.
