(CNA, Reporter Huang Li-yun, Taipei, 18th) To establish correct legal concepts and a sense of integrity among civil servants, the National Immigration Agency (NIA) held an anti-corruption and legal compliance seminar in Kaohsiung today. They invited lawyer Fan Chia-Chen, who has rich practical experience, to speak, reminding attendees to use the "Stop, Look, Listen" principle for judgment to avoid integrity risks.
The Ministry of the Interior's NIA held the seminar in Kaohsiung today with the theme "Stop, Look, Listen for Clean Governance: An Analysis of Classic Cases." Through sharing real cases and discussing scenarios, it reminded everyone to remain vigilant, handle matters impartially, maintain integrity, and be proactive in their duties.
The event specially invited Fan Chia-Chen as the main speaker. He previously served as a prosecutor in the Pingtung and Kaohsiung District Prosecutors' Offices and also as a resident prosecutor at the Ministry of Justice's Agency Against Corruption, possessing rich investigative experience in anti-corruption and criminal cases.
The NIA stated that during the seminar, Fan used actual cases to help everyone understand the legal risks civil servants might encounter while performing their duties. Through simulating frontline work scenarios, he discussed with the attendees issues such as "What to do when faced with lobbying or improper requests?" "What behaviors might be considered as illicit gains?" and "Where is the line between providing convenient services and illegal favoritism?"
Through discussions closely related to daily work, Fan reminded that when facing situations that might raise concerns, the "Stop, Look, Listen" principle can be used for judgment. First, stop and think to clarify doubts; look at the regulations to confirm if the handling method complies with the law; and listen to professional opinions and consult experts to avoid inadvertently breaking the law due to good intentions or a momentary lapse.
The NIA stated that frontline personnel interact with the public daily, not only providing services but also executing public authority, thus requiring an even stronger sense of legal propriety and integrity. Through this seminar, staff can better understand the integrity risks they might encounter at work and can quickly judge and correctly handle situations involving lobbying, conflicts of interest, or suspicions of favoritism.
