The police recently arrested four directors of the Zhengsheng Society and wanted three out-of-Hong Kong directors, including Chen Zhaozhuo, the principal of Zhengsheng College. They were suspected of making false statements and conspiracy to defraud, involving a total amount of NT$50 million. The police pointed out that the principal of Zhengsheng College once claimed that the school was in financial difficulty and solicited donations from outside. However, after investigation, it was found that the donations were not used for educational purposes. Instead, a large amount was transferred out of Hong Kong and even transferred to the director’s private account. The police severely condemned people who used false statements to induce the public to donate and then misappropriated the money, saying they would investigate whether anyone used the donations to line their own pockets. The three directors of the Zhengsheng Society wanted by the police include Chen Siu-chiu, principal of Zhengsheng College, Lin Heisheng, supervisor of Zhengsheng College, and Chen Youzhi, director of Zhengsheng Society. As for the Zhengsheng College under the Zhengsheng Society, it is still in operation. “Yahoo News” has made inquiries to Chen Zhaozhuo and is awaiting a reply.

In 2009, it was once investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, but no corruption or irregularities were found. Chan Siu-cheok, the wanted principal of Zhengsheng College, founded the “Christian Zhengsheng Association (UK)” in the UK in recent years, claiming that the organization was to support Hong Kong immigrants to the UK.
