brick built even if the director integrity can not be destroyed

The newly appointed Attorney General Cheng Woo-wah and her husband, Pan Le Tao, both involved in the storm building. The Buildings Department dispatched officers yesterday to investigate into two separate houses owned by them. They confirmed that No.4 House at Le Tsui Street Tsui Siu, Tuen Mun, There are four built Jian, Pan Le Tao’s third house there are five Jian Jian, two houses are inconsistent with the original plan rooftop house and basement. In other words, the question of the establishment of Cheng Joo-Hwa’s couple is to set up a table of evidence and the remainder is to look at how to deal with things aftermath.

The so-called aftermath, separate two levels. The first level, of course, is to be demolished or restored in accordance with the Buildings Ordinance. It is the responsibility of the owners to change the two detached houses of the House of Hoi Shui into the original appearance allowed by the law. The vast majority of the project is believed to be to fill up hundreds of square feet Feet area of ​​the basement. The second level of after-treatment is to rebuild the integrity that Zheng Ruohua should have. This is the key to the establishment of the storm. The Secretary for Justice, who holds the power of prosecution and shoulders the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the rule of law, will continue to be challenged. I am afraid thankless for work.

With the confirmation by the Buildings Department of its existence, Mr Pranzelo said in a statement yesterday: “I purchased House 3 at Villa Hoi Shih status quo in October 2012. At that time, I was not consulted on whether there was any unauthorized building. At that time, I was particularly nervous about the pace of my work. In retrospect, I did not plan well enough. “Also known as:” After I received a notice from the Buildings Department last Friday (January 5, 2018), I immediately engaged an Authorized Person Thoroughly tested and is actively cooperating with the BD’s investigation. “The implication is that the honorable owner has been” ignorant “of the construction problem until” January 5 this year, “he said. .

Is that true? Mr. Pan, a professional engineer, is it really possible that he will be busy without realizing that he has built a property? In his statement, he said: “I understand that my performance is different from the expectations of all circles. I regret and apologize for that.” We must also share the same regret and regret, but regrettably, this statement is not convincing and sorry is forgiveness Try your best.

Yesterday, Mrs CHOW also issued a statement with more or less the same message. With a little more added, since the owner of the adjacent property involved the spouse of the Director, if the case is to be referred to the Department of Justice for legal advice, the Secretary for Justice himself will not participate. Avoid conflicts of interest. Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, seems to care for the director with caregivership and declares, “There is no concealment at all.”

The most valuable asset of the Secretary for Justice is not a brick but an integrity. So far, the couple who live next door always insist that they “buy the house under the sea as the status quo.” We are sorry again for trying to find out our relationship with KKJ. To put it simply hard to think of as a manifestation of integrity.

Even with the common sense of small urban residents, the presence of “descending stairs” on the ground of a detached house is already a clear sign of suspicion of unauthorized construction. It is not possible to explain why property owners have no knowledge at all, not to mention that the couple are both engineers The expert, Zheng Ruo Hua and the legal elite. If the original property was purchased even the lease, or bought to let rent, some owners may not even the status quo with the actual situation, do not know there are still barely justified in the building, but the Sea House Villa two rooms are used for self-occupation, Over the years in which day and night in which the work of the rhythm and then there are tensions, even not aware of the extra space under the foot and head there is something wrong? Moreover, normal building buyers and their solicitors are obliged to read the blueprints carefully in their transactions. In particular, they will be more carefully checked out than the more complex individual houses of the ordinary units. If the basement and rooftop house are not identified, , IQ is extremely limited.

Even if the bricks are demolished, honesty and credibility can not be ruined. We advise Zheng Ruo-hua and his wife to show their moral courage and confess to the public in an honest and detailed manner about the ins and outs of the incident, knowing it as something known, and not knowing it or not. To be honest, buyers know that there are illegal structures and things like “buying in the status quo” may be based on the price to attract or too put it down, it is the commonality of people, even after the purchase according to what they intended to change is not an unforgivable blunder, As long as the parties are willing to change their names and sincerely apologize to all sectors of the community, the public relations disaster may or may not be irreparable and it will not spare the chief executive the chance to lose his reputation.
