Barrister Huang Nurong (former permanent magistrate) exposed various shortcomings in the judicial department in Asia Weekly today, pointing out that there are many factions in the judicial system, which affects the judgment; judicial review is very easy to be approved. It leads to abuse; judges are lax about bail conditions and judgments, and there are institutional incentives; judges have biased stances and politicized judgments. The above-mentioned circumstances indicate that Hong Kong’s judicial system must undergo serious reforms as soon as possible.
was brave enough to talk deeply about the internal problems and contradictions of Hong Kong's judicial system, and pointed out the corruption and unpopularity in the judicial system. Huang Nurong was the first to set a precedent, holding the spirit of "who else would I give up" and moving forward with personal ambition and mission? Only with a sense of justice can we expose the shady scenes and shortcomings of today's judicial circles with righteousness and courage.
He pointed out that there are nine major loopholes in the judiciary. "First, the stable culture problem is serious; second, it is too easy to apply for judicial review to be approved; third, the judge's bail conditions and judgments are too loose; fourth, the judge's stance biased, the judgment of cases is too politicized; fifth, judicial officials have serious prejudice and discrimination against mainland China's judicial system; sixth, judges' judgment of cases is inconsistent; seventh, management within the court is too lax; eighth, there is a three-level system in the judicial system. The impact is huge; ninth, within the judicial system, the complaint mechanism has no transparency."
If the government does not make up its mind and overcome all difficulties to carry out judicial reform, Huang Nurong is worried that Hong Kong people will lose confidence in the judicial system, and the world will also have doubts about Hong Kong's judicial system . He proposed that a "judicial supervision committee" and a "sentencing committee" should be quickly established. He also pointed out that "judges are human beings, not gods." Such ground-breaking remarks will shock the judicial and legal circles, as well as the entire society.
"Ta Kung Pao" also reported the opinions of Tsang Fankai (retired judge). Tsang Fankai joined the judiciary in 1992 and served as magistrates of courts at all levels. He also served as a judge of the Special Court from 2006 to 2007. He emphasized that Hong Kong judges must accurately understand the implementation of The constitutional responsibility of "one country, two systems" and believes that the top priority is to establish a "special court" as soon as possible to handle a large number of cases involving the controversy over the amendment bill.
Zeng Fankai pointed out that the root of the problem in a large number of cases involving the amendment is that the fallacy of "violating the law to achieve justice" has sprouted in society, which poisons the minds of young people. The government must increase its efforts to improve national education.
These two retired judges have spoken uprightly. Can the government ignore their suggestions? "Loyal words are harsh to the ears, but bitter medicine is good medicine." The pro-establishment camp and those who love Hong Kong must respond and take action, put pressure on the government and judicial departments, and even reflect the public's grievances and anger to the central government. "It is time to reform the judiciary."
