The 20,000 needle-free paper will expire next week. Jiang Yu denounced the tyranny and no legal basis: Who broke the rule of law?

Seven private doctors were arrested on suspicion of spamming medical exemption certificates (commonly known as needle-free papers). The case has not yet been opened, but the government has taken the lead in announcing a few days ago (September 27) that they have issued more than 20,000 medical exemption certificates in total. It will not be accepted and will expire on October 12, but the government has yet to explain the legal basis.

Member of the Legislative Council Election Committee, Jiang Yuhuan, pointed out on the social networking site that he named and questioned the Secretary for Medical and Health, Lu Chongmao, that the law did not give him the power to abolish the medical exemption certificate, and asked why the Secretary could say "reasonable doubt" without proof. He unilaterally declared the certificate invalid, and asked, "The rule of law is the cornerstone of Hong Kong and an important part of one country, two systems. Who is breaking the rule of law today?"

As a lawyer, as a member of the legislature who has a share in reviewing Chapter 599L, such an arbitrary method cannot be tolerated in a society ruled by law.

Refers to the government's attitude to the law playing tricks: a society ruled by law cannot tolerate such domineering methods

The article, titled "When to Become Domineering", points out that the Prevention and Control of Disease (Vaccine Pass) Regulation (Cap. 599L of the legislation) does not give the Commissioner the power to abolish the medical certificate of exemption.

"However, Bureau Lu insisted on going his own way and used 'reasonable doubt' as a reason to abolish more than 20,000 certificates at the same time, so as to kill each other as an example. If the law does not authorize it, can it be casually used 'reasonable doubt' to make the final killing? If the law is Why is it necessary to go through complicated legislative (by: procedure) procedures when you can play like this.”

Jiang Yuhuan also pointed out that the statement of "reasonable doubt" caused some friends in the legal profession to be in an uproar.

"The charges against the seven doctors still need to be proved. How can the certificates involving more than 20,000 citizens be used without proof. As a lawyer, as a member of the legislature who has reviewed Chapter 599L , there is really no room for a society ruled by law to have such domineering methods.”

The government insists on caring for the elderly and the young, but in the three-year epidemic, it is the elders and the young who suffer the most.

Listening to a radio program one day, I heard a guest say that in the past three years, many elderly people living in institutions have had difficulty seeing their family members, and they rarely go out for activities.

Will fall into the area to understand the plight of the public

Jiang Yuhuan pointed out that the government may think that it will arrange for more than 20,000 citizens to go to public hospitals to re-issue their certificates. If the maximum extension of the injection period cannot be obtained, "to put it bluntly, it will still indirectly force citizens to get injections." He also questioned the government's rush to extend the vaccine bubble. (Press: Vaccine Pass) To children over 5 years old, it violates children's basic right to study and enjoyment of family life, and deviates from the premise and purpose under Chapter 599L.

She mentioned that she has recently received many complaints from parents that their children cannot enter the library, participate in extracurricular activities, and cannot enter the restaurant.

"This is all within the expectations of the government, but unfortunately it still insists on going its own way. Some parents say that they are glad that the weather is a little colder, and they can "sigh" with their children in the park or on the side of the road for takeout." speech situation.

"Hong Kong 01" earlier checked the "Physician Registration Ordinance" and the "Physicians (Registration and Disciplinary Procedure) Regulations" currently used by the Medical Council to supervise doctors, and there was no provision mentioning what the certificate issued by the doctor was. The "Hong Kong Professional Code of Practice for Registered Medical Practitioners" states that doctors who issue false or misleading statements or other improper certificates in their professional capacity will face disciplinary proceedings, but the provisions do not specify in disciplinary proceedings. The certificate issued by the doctor before the hearing will be invalid.

Respiratory specialist Liang Zichao and practicing barrister Lu Weixiong analyzed at the time that they believed that the Department of Health used administrative measures to make the "needle-free paper" invalid.
