Amid Aman Palestin fund abuse claims, MACC chief says only on paper trail, yet to call in anyone for questioning
The ruling by Hong Kong’s Court of Appeal is another small legal victory for campaigners for LGBT rights in the global financial hub this year, a trend that activists say could prompt other jurisdictions in Asia, like Singapore and Japan, to examine their positions on inclusion. Today’s ruling came in response to a city government appeal in December against a 2020 court decision that same-sex married couples should enjoy equal rights under the city’s inheritance laws.Judges Peter Cheung, Maria Yuen and Thomas Au said in a written judgment that the city’s secretary of justice, who led the government appeal, “failed in all grounds of appeal”.
“It is our view that the same-sex marriage is the only proven and permanent solution for Hong Kong,” Yau told reporters.
