About 3,000 personal belongings of late Canto-pop diva Anita Mui Yim-fong, including her clothes and a trophy she won in a singing contest that shot her to fame, have been put up for sale on an online auction.

The timed auction “Last But Not Least” featured 3,127 items, including her wardrobe, handbags, custom jewellery, stage costumes, CDs, posters, press clippings and soft toys.
