Talk:Independent Commission Against Corruption (Hong Kong)

Civil Rights violation
The ICAC, while admired, holds a rather dubious reputation for violating suspect's Civil Rights during investigations. Perhaps someone can dig some evidence up? Arbiteroftruth (talk) 04:03, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Did they really said "I can accept cash?", sounds like an E-bay line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.18.102 (talk) 06:27, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

NPOV
The tone in this article is slightly pro-ICAC as well as a little too colloquial. Also, I saw the word 'recently', so I removed it because a)Wikipedia is not a news source and b)it's far from recently now.  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil 11:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It would be very strange to call the article pro-ICAC when it is listing sources and contents of both views already. I do not see sources against it being used but referred to as incorrect or not reliable, so what is the pov here?  —Preceding signed comment added by MythSearchertalk  18:02, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The first sentence that I have trouble with is this one:
 * Against this background the government kept Civil Service salaries very low, and so it was probably no surprise that officials in all departments took advantage of their positions to supplement their wages with demands for 'tea money', 'lucky money' or substantially larger sums.
 * Where probably no surprise lacks NPOV.  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil 01:17, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And the second:
 * The Hong Kong Police had previously had an Anti-Corruption Branch, but it did little to reduce corruption.
 * Where 'litte' is a personal opinion.  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil 01:18, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And the third:
 * In the early days there were running punch-ups between ICAC officers and angry policemen who stormed their offices in Central District; this situation ended only with the announcement of a partial amnesty for minor corruptions committed before 1977.
 * 'Running punch-ups' is too colloquial, while 'angry' is a subjective opinion.  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil 01:23, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And a final:
 * However, the Devil makes work for idle hands, and in 1993 their Deputy Director of Operations Alex Tsui Ka-kit was suddenly sacked by Governor Patten who stated that he had 'lost confidence' in Mr. Tsui - a euphemism that strong evidence of corruption or significant wrongdoing existed.
 * That devil thing has to go.  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil 01:36, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And finally:
 * A year later at Christmas 1995 an ICAC assistant director - a well known carouser - was arrested for drinking and driving. Following conviction he mysteriously avoided strong punishment and received only a 'reprimand' from the Commissioner of the ICAC.
 * Even if he's a heavy drinker, it would be subjective to call him a well-known carouser.  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil 01:50, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * PS I never knew you were from HK too. Guess I never looked at your userpage.  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil 01:23, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The article is written in a colloquial and narrative style, but I don't think that it should be flagged for not being neutral. That makes it seem like the ICAC itself is a contentious organizations like Hamas or something. 203.198.39.71 (talk) 02:30, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
