SOCIETIES (AMENDMENT) (NO.2) BILL 1988
THE SECRETARY FOR SECURITY moved the Second Reading of 'A Bill to amend the Societies Ordinance'.
He said:
Sir,
the Second Reading of
I move that, the Societies (Amendment) (No 2) Bill 1988.
The purpose of this Bill is to introduce a Triad
Renunciation Scheme which will allow a triad member, or a
person who believes himself to be a triad member, formally to
renounce his triad membership. It is believed that there are
people who have been initiated as triad members, or have joined
triad societies, who may have done so under duress. Some triad
members take oaths during their initiation, and this has given
rise to the assertion: 'once a triad, always a triad'. Under
the law as it stands, there are no means by which an initiated
triad member, can absolve himself of his membership. He will
always faced the possibility of prosecution under the Societies
Ordinance.
