The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has exposed the largest-scale black money election bribery and corruption scandal in history, causing a sensation throughout Southeast Asia. The ICAC has achieved another success. Ho Kwan, the chairman of a rural executive committee in the New Territories, learned that the SAR government is planning to build the West Rail development project and has determined that a large amount of land will be allocated along the development area to build "Ding" houses. He colluded with a certain executive committee member in charge of rural affairs, including Zhou Ganquan, Luo Weixiong, Liang Zhaoquan, and Zhao Zhenming, to illegally bribe and identify the original residents. He offered generous remuneration in exchange for their support and voting to be elected as the chairperson, so as to enter the legislative body to enforce the law in the future and represent the villagers in negotiating land acquisition claims with the SAR government as the chairperson. Senior officials of the Independent Commission Against Corruption received the case. As the case involved the development plan of the West Rail and involved a wide range of people, they immediately established a project team to investigate the case and set up an operation code-named "Black Gold of the Western Regions".[Collapse]
