HK Appeal judge cleared of false claim,but questions coming
in.
Michael Wong, who retired from the(Hing Kong) Court of Appeal in
August 2001 and became EOC( Equal Opportunities Commission)
chairman in August 2003, was accused of accepting free air tickets
from friends of his daughter, Rosaline Wong, on three occasions
between 1998 and 2001.
Despite this, he still claimed reimbursements amounting to
HK$171,666(S$34,000) from the government.
Wong previously told a Legislative Council panel probing these
claims that because of his judicial duties, he had asked his
daughter to handle his air bookings and that in return he paid for
her shopping and other expenses.
The allegations were among a series of incidents and claims
preceding his resignation from the EOC in November 2003, just three
months after he took up the job.

In this Editoral
is angered that it is wrong that the Retired judge was just asked
to return
the money to HK goverment and he will be let
free.Orisun dated 05 oct 2006.It asked that if the
money the former jugde claimed from government is appropriate,then
why he was asked to return?
If the judge claimed the money wrongly,then why he was not
procesuted?
There were few doubtful cases in HK .
