Last update date: 2020-07-08 15:54The former chief executive, Liang Zhenying, received about 50 million yuan from the UGL company in Australia without reporting, and in 2017, through the Hao Ding, a member of the Legislative Council of the DAB, amended the documents of the Legislative Council Investigation Committee. Legislative Council member Mao Mengjing subsequently motioned to condemn Zhou Haoding's motion and referred it to the investigation committee for follow-up. The committee completed the investigation. Today (8th), the facts established are not sufficient to constitute a condemnation of Zhou Haoding.
The two Democrat members, Citizen Party Guo Rongkeng and Democratic Party Tu Jinshen, did not accept the report and published a "minority report" separately. Guo Rongkeng believed that the respondents could write to the committee to make comments instead of communicating with members privately and asking the other party to modify the scope of the investigation. Guo Rongkeng also criticized that Zhou Haoding repeatedly said that the proposal to amend the scope of the investigation was made by himself, which was deliberately made a wrong statement, misleading the Legislative Council and thinking that the other party should be responsible for the incident.
Tu Jinshen said that since the incident, Zhou Haoding has not apologized to the public, which does not meet the public's standards for the handling of members of the Legislative Council, and emphasized that the public expects that the members of the Legislative Council will be separated from Liang Zhenying. Tu Jinshen also pointed out that if the committee believes that Zhou Haoding's behavior is okay, it will set a bad precedent, which is regrettable.
When asked that the formed faction constituted the majority of the committee, he would deny that the report had covered Zhou Haoding. Guo Rongkeng said that the formed faction constituted the majority is an indisputable fact, and Zhou Haoding also did not cooperate with the investigation. Expect to regret. He also said that although there is no procedure to follow up on the incident, members of the Democrats have written at least a "minority report", which will make the position and conclusion of the incident a part of the Legislative Council's record and become a guide for the future.
