Huang Jun-ying (December 31, 1941 - January 10, 2014), a native of Lingya Liao (now Lingya District), Kaohsiung City, Takao Prefecture, Taiwan under Japanese rule, was a politician in the Republic of China.[1] He was a member of the 11th Examination Yuan. He was once a chair professor at the School of Management of I-Shou University and the deputy mayor of Kaohsiung City. In 2002 and 2006, he was nominated twice by the Kuomintang to run for mayor of Kaohsiung City. However, he was defeated by Frank Hsieh who was seeking re-election in 2002 with more than 20,000 votes, and by Chen Chu, the former chairman of the Labor Committee in 2006 with only 1,114 votes. On January 10, 2014, he died of lung adenocarcinoma while serving as a member of Examination Yuan at the age of 73.[2]

Early life

[edit]

Huang Jun-ying graduated from the Department of Business at National Taiwan University and the Institute of Business Administration at National Chengchi University. He studied abroad at the University of Iowa in the United States at public expense and received a doctorate in business management. Since 1987, he had served as dean and provost of the School of Management of National Sun Yat-sen University.[3]

Political career

[edit]

In 1995, he was chosen to serve as the deputy mayor of Kaohsiung City.

At the end of 2002, Huang Jun-ying was nominated by the Kuomintang to run for mayor of Kaohsiung City in the 2001–02 Taiwanese local elections. However, he lost to the Democratic Progressive Party candidate Frank Hsieh who was seeking re-election by less than 30,000 votes.

"Walking workers" scandal

[edit]

The court ruled that the defendant Gu Zinmo, nicknamed "Gu Yi", helped mobilize and distributed bribes together with Cai Nengxiang, nicknamed "Black Pine". They were sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison and 9 months in prison respectively.

Kaohsiung prosecutors also found out that the behind-the-scenes instigators were Su Wanji, CEO of the "Huang Junying Campaign Headquarters Yunlin County Support Association" and Yang Qingde, general manager of a recycling company.[4] They immediately issued arrest warrants against the two. Yang Qingde learned that the incident was exposed and fled to Hong Kong by plane. Su Wanji, accompanied by his lawyer, surrendered to the authorities. He was released under investigation, but was placed in house arrest.[5]

Therefore, the scandal was ultimately found to have been committed by members of the fan club, and had nothing to do with Huang Jun-ying, who had no prior knowledge of it.[6] Moreover, the final communication records were not found to be related to Huang, which dispelled the "conspiracy theory". [7]

On the night before the election, Chen Chu's camp held a press conference with the title: "Huang Jun-ying was caught bribing the election". Huang Jun-ying was dissatisfied and sued for violating the election and recall law and the criminal law and aggravated defamation. The prosecutor ruled that the defendants Chen Chu, Kuan Bi-ling, Xiao Yuzheng and Chen Chi-mai would not be prosecuted.[7]

After Huang Jun-ying's defeat, Apollo Chen, spokesman for Huang Jun-ying's campaign team, addressed directly to Chen Ju through press conferences and political commentary programs, saying "If the law proves that Huang Jun-ying is innocent, Chen Ju, do you dare to re-elect?" Chen Chu's campaign headquarters said it would respect judicial investigations.[8]

"Election invalid" lawsuit

[edit]

On June 15, 2007, the Kaohsiung District Court issued a first-instance verdict. Chen Chu was ruled to be "invalid for election", but the case for "invalid election" was dismissed. After the verdict of the first trial, both Huang Jun-ying and Chen Ju lodged appeals, on the grounds of the dismissed "invalid election" and the charge of "invalid for election" respectively.[9]

After the second trial, the Kaohsiung branch of the High Court reversed the verdict. It overturned the first trial verdict that the election of Chen Chu was invalid and changed the verdict to be valid.[10]

Huang Jun-ying expressed that he respects judicial decisions and will serve as a political volunteer to assist in the election of party legislators and presidential candidates to win the election.[11]

Member of Examination Yuan

[edit]

On June 19, 2008, President Ma Ying-jeou nominated Huang Jun-ying to serve as a member of the 11th Examination Yuan, as a member specialized in business. After the Legislative Yuan approved the nomination, he took office on September 1, 2008.

On January 10, 2014, he died of lung adenocarcinoma at his home in Kaohsiung and later moved to Taipei City.
