I was a prisoner in my own home, says former beauty queen


PETALING JAYA: Former beauty queen Pauline Chai (pic) has claimed that billionaire husband Tan Sri Khoo Kay Peng made her feel “like a prisoner” on their sprawling 404ha English country estate.

Speaking publicly for the first time since filing a high-profile divorce petition against Khoo in February, the 66-year-old Chai alleged that she could not leave their home without Khoo’s permission.
