Vice-President Dong Dak Announces Resignation Amid Ongoing ACEC Corruption Probe
by Zheung Tam, in Dongsing
11:28 CYT, 2 May 2024

Vice President Dong Dak before his ascension in 2021.

Dong Dak announces intent to step down by June following accusations of corruption and ACEC investigation.

Yesterday evening on national television, Vice-President Dong Dak announced his intent to resign amid the onset of an investigation by the Anti-Corruption and Ethics Commission (ACEC) following a slew of corruption allegations by both political opponents in his own party, and various opposition parties. This comes as an abrupt end to his tenure as 9th Vice-President of Yingok, a position he has held as running mate to President Yeung Kapkaa since their election in 2021. Dak’s decision to step down marks one of the few instances in which a high-ranking official has left office in relation to corruption.

"The allegations against me are baseless at best," Dong Dak proclaimed in his announcement yesterday. "And I am confident that the ongoing investigation will clear my name. I have always served our country with utmost dedication and integrity, and I believe this step is necessary to uphold the principles of our great nation. I am confident that the truth will prevail.”

Dong Dak's announcement have been met with mixed reactions from the public and political circles alike. While some were saddened by the loss of such a prominent political figure. Others like Tin Yimmui viewed it as an admission of guilt on his part. In a scathing post on Yitip (耳貼), the Dongsing representative to the Namging Assembly minced no words in expressing her satisfaction with Vice-President Dong Dak's resignation. "Finally, the facts surface and the corrupt are forced to face the consequences of their actions," she declared. "Dong's departure is long overdue. Let this serve as a warning to others who dare to abuse their power for personal gain."

Netizens online have been particularly vocal about their opinions, with some expressing disappointment at the Vice-President's resignation and others applauding the swift actions of the ACEC. However, a rather loud minority on social media platforms, especially on Yitip have rallied behind Dong Dak with the hashtag #与東站起 which translates roughly to #StandWithDong, asserting that the Vice-President is being unfairly targeted.

The announcement came days after the arrest of Wong Muimei, the former campaign manager of Dong's party for charges of embezzlement on 27 April.

Dong is scheduled to step down on 10 June according to his announcement. His resignation will trigger the process for the appointment of a new Vice-President as per the constitutional provisions. President Yeung Kapkaa will have the responsibility to appoint a member of the National Diet as the new Vice-President, subject to a three-fourths vote of approval by the National Diet.

As of 2 May 2024, we have been unable to reach President Yeung for any comment on the matter.

Have no doubt, Mr. Dong will not be charged and will walk the halls in Dongsing again in a few months.
