Outlying Islands District Councillor Wang Jinyang stated on Facebook last night (23rd) that he was summoned by the ICAC to investigate because he had issued an oath in early March that he "will not serve citizens who support the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law". Wang Jinyang emphasized that he wrote to help. The family reunion of new immigrants only involves the personal interests of the citizens and has never been within the scope of the district councillors’ work. If the citizens seek help involving public interests, such as complaints about gambling in the district, they will still accept and follow up the relevant incidents. "Hong Kong 01" is on the matter Inquired to Wang Jinyang, but no reply has been received yet.
Wang Jinyang pointed out that yesterday he was investigated by the ICAC for "not accepting requests for help from citizens who support the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law." Therefore, the "12 hand and foot postcard campaign" was cancelled.
Wang Jinyang pointed out that if the citizens' requests for help involve public interest, such as complaints about gambling in the district, they will still accept their requests for help and follow up the incident, but the requests for help only involve personal interests. For example, if they write letters to help new immigrants reunite with their families, they are never district councilors. However, for many years, the establishment has used bad rules to "play the bad market." As a result, district councilors used to be stepping stones to go upstairs quickly. In addition, if the seeker was wrong in the incident, he just wanted to use the votes. Putting pressure on the district councillors, requests for help will not be accepted.
Wang Jinyang also said that some neighbours asked whether the ICAC and the government deliberately suppressed district councilors and created white terror. He reiterated that there was absolutely no such incident, and said that if there is a danger, he will protect himself and take adequate measures, hoping that the neighbours will relieve their doubts.
Wang added that although the law does not require the ICAC's investigation to be confidential, he will still accept the two ICAC staff's suggestions just now and not disclose all key details.
