The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government on Wednesday announced the disqualification of four members of the Legislative Council (LegCo) -- Alvin Yeung, Dennis Kwok, Kwok Ka-ki and Kenneth Leung.
Acting evil and breaking laws under the disguise of politics, the disqualified lawmakers have betrayed both Hong Kong and the motherland. The following is an account of their shameless acts.
Alvin Yeung and the likes incited violence, particularly from the young generation. They were among the culprits to blame for the widespread violence that seriously undermined Hong Kong's rule of law.
In October, Kwok Ka-ki posted insulting comments against Hong Kong's police force on social media. It was not the first time he fanned hatred against the police. In the ugly episode last year when a police officer was knifed by a student, he did not condemn the attacker but portrayed the incident as "police brutality."
Between June 9, 2019 and Oct. 31, 2020, 10,148 people were arrested in Hong Kong for suspected involvement in violence linked to the now withdrawn proposed ordinance amendments. Among them, 2,325 have been indicted. Many rioters were brainwashed by the disqualified lawmakers who practiced the "burn with us" tactic.
In addition to fanning street violence, they also used political tricks to sabotage the LegCo.
Starting from October last year, Dennis Kwok deliberately obstructed the operation of the LegCo, paralyzing its House Committee for six months. Many bills aimed at improving people's livelihood were delayed for passage.
Alvin Yeung, Dennis Kwok and the likes work in the legal profession but have blatantly acted against the law.
Dennis Kwok tried but failed to block the passage of the National Anthem Ordinance. The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council was right in pointing out that Kwok had violated his oath when taking office, and committed misconduct in public office.
Dennis Kwok, Kwok Ka-ki and the likes also defamed the law on safeguarding national security in the HKSAR.
Shiu Sin-por, former head of the then central policy unit of the HKSAR government, said that by defaming the law these people tried to use Hong Kong to hold back China's development and continue their involvement in activities that undermine national security.
All of the four disqualified lawmakers also colluded with anti-China elements in the West.
They begged for the U.S. government's interference in Hong Kong affairs on multiple occasions: Kwok Ka-ki asked the U.S. government to impose sanctions on HKSAR government officials; Dennis Kwok urged speedy passage of the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019; Kenneth Leung and the likes pushed the U.S. government to fast-track the launch of sanctions.
"History will prove that none of these traitors will meet a good end," said Tam Kam-kau, a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee and chairman of the Hong Kong Volunteers Federation.
Justice may be late but will never be absent.
