Doctor Wong Ping-leung admits issuing over 6,000 vaccine exemption certificates; jailed for 9 months as judge condemns greed

醫生王秉亮認濫發逾6000張免針紙判囚9月 官斥財迷心竅、利慾薰心

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022, doctor Wong Ping-leung was accused of issuing more than 6,000 vaccine exemption certificates and was charged with six counts of accessing a computer with a dishonest intent to deceive. He pleaded guilty to four charges, while the remaining two were filed on the court record. On Friday (11th), he was sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment in the District Court, in the first conviction and sentencing case involving the abuse of vaccine exemption certificates. Judge Kwok Wai-kin criticised the defendant as having been blinded by money and consumed by greed. The judge said Wong had sought to earn more than HK$4.6 million in consultation fees over four and a half months, attracting people seeking to evade vaccination to attend his clinic and going along with them. The judge said Wong had abused his authority, accepted without exception people seeking exemption certificates, undermined the government’s trust in private doctors, slowed the recovery of society and seriously affected public health. The judge said the defendant faced four charges, each with a starting point of six months’ imprisonment. Some of the sentences were to run concurrently. After a one-third reduction for his guilty pleas and a further one-month reduction for taking part in volunteer work after his arrest, he was sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment.

2022 年新冠疫情期間,醫生王秉亮被指濫發 6,000 張「免針紙」,被控 6 項「不誠實地意圖欺騙而取用電腦」罪。他承認其中 4 罪,其餘 2 罪存檔法庭。王周五(11 日)在區域法院被判囚 9 個月,為首宗濫用免針紙定罪判刑案件。 法官郭偉健批評,被告「財迷心竅、利慾薰心」,在 4 個半月內謀取逾 460 萬元診金,吸引想逃避接種疫苗人士應診「同流合污」。法官又指,被告濫用職權,對要求免針紙求診者來者不拒,破壞政府對私家醫生的信任,減慢社會復原,嚴重影響公共健康。 法官指,被告涉及 4 項控罪,每罪量刑起點為 6 個月,部分刑期同期執行,被告認罪減刑三分一,再考慮被告被捕後參與義工活動,額外減刑一個月,判處被告監禁 9 個月。

Youth admits spraying “People have the right not to be vaccinated” and other slogans, jailed for five months; judge says wording could incite undesirable elements and lead to violence

涉噴「人類有權不打疫苗」字句 青年認罪囚5個月 官:激發不良份子或致使用暴力

A 22-year-old man was arrested by the National Security Department after allegedly spray-painting the words “People have the right not to be vaccinated” and “Guillotine to settle accounts with black cops” on an industrial building in Kwun Tong and the exterior wall of a building in Mong Kok the year before last. He earlier admitted three counts of criminal damage and was sentenced to five months’ imprisonment at Kwun Tong Magistrates’ Courts today (26th). Acting Principal Magistrate Liu Kei-wan said the wording challenged the law, the police as an important law-enforcement agency, and government policies implemented to protect public health. Liu said the wording could incite undesirable elements and give them an opportunity to exploit the situation, and was quite likely to lead to people using violence, seriously endangering public order and safety.

一名22歲男子涉前年於觀塘工廈及旺角大廈外牆,噴上「人類有權不打疫苗」、「斷頭台清算黑警」等字句,被國安處拘捕。他早前承認3項刑事毀壞罪,今(26日)在觀塘裁判法院被判囚5個月。署理主任裁判官劉綺雲指,涉案字句挑戰法律、挑戰作為重要執法機關的警方,以及挑戰政府為保障市民健康而實行的政策。劉官認為字句會激發不良份子並令其有機可乘,相當可能導致有人使用暴力,並嚴重危害公眾秩序及安全。

Kwok Cheuk-kin files another judicial review, saying government’s amendment abolishing vaccine exemption certificates has no appeal mechanism; seeks to overturn it

郭卓堅再入稟申司法覆核 指政府修例廢免針紙無上訴機制 要求推翻

Kwok Cheuk-kin, known as the “Cheung Chau judicial review king”, won a judicial review last week after the High Court ruled that the Secretary for Health had no power to abolish vaccine exemption certificates. The government gazetted amendments this week allowing the Secretary for Health to abolish a vaccine exemption certificate where there are reasonable grounds for suspicion. Kwok filed another application for judicial review at the High Court on Thursday (27th), saying that those affected have no appeal mechanism after the government’s amendment, and asking the court to overturn the new law.

Judicial review over vaccine exemption certificates: Kwok Cheuk-kin wins appeal against legal-aid refusal

免針紙司法覆核 郭卓堅申法援被拒上訴得直

The Government said seven private doctors were suspected of improperly issuing “vaccine exemption certificates”, and that the more than 20,000 certificates they had issued were originally scheduled to become invalid from Wednesday (12th). Kwok Cheuk-kin, known as the “Cheung Chau Judicial Review King”, was granted leave by the High Court last Monday to seek a judicial review challenging whether the Government’s decision was unlawful. The Legal Aid Department subsequently said Kwok did not have “legal standing” to bring the review and refused his legal-aid application. Kwok appealed against the decision. The case was heard in camera at the High Court on Tuesday (18th), which ruled in his favour.

政府指 7 名私家醫生涉嫌濫發「免針紙」,原定他們所發出的逾兩萬張「免針紙」周三(12 日)起失效。「長洲覆核王」郭卓堅上周一獲高等法院批出司法覆核許可,挑戰政府的決定或屬違法。法援署其後指,郭卓堅沒有「法定地位」提覆核,拒批法援。郭卓堅不服提出上訴,案件周二(18 日)於高等法院進行閉門聆訊,裁定郭上訴得直。

被指濫發免針紙案|醫生蔡淑梅被控串謀詐騙准保釋 不得干擾控方證人包括 3 診所護士

Judicial Review of Vaccine Exemption Certificates: Kwok Cheuk-kin Says Legal Aid Application Rejected as “Not a Relevant Person Because I Had All Three Doses”

免針紙司法覆核 郭卓堅稱申法援被拒 「佢話我打齊三針唔係相關人士」

Kwok Cheuk-kin said on Thursday (13th) that he had received notification from the Legal Aid Department stating that, because he had received all three doses of the vaccine, he was not a “relevant person” and was therefore ineligible to apply for legal aid for the judicial review. Kwok said he believed the case involved the public interest and that he was a stakeholder, and would appeal the Legal Aid Department’s decision.

郭卓堅周四(13 日)接受查詢時指,收到法援署通知,稱由於他已打齊三針疫苗,不屬於「相關人士」,因此不合資格就有關司法覆核申請法援。郭卓堅認為,案件涉及公眾利益,自己屬持份者,將就法援署決定提出上訴。
