The offence of being a member of a triad society is a continuing offence and the fact that a person has been convicted on a former occasion of the offence does not mean that he cannot be convicted at a later time if, after the first conviction, he remains a member of a triad society: R v Chan Kwong Ning [1957] HKLR 492. On a charge of being a member of a triad society, a simple unqualified assertion from the accused that he is a member of a triad society, without more, is capable of being sufficient evidence of that fact but whether it is or not depends on the circumstances: R v Yu Fung-hi [1996] 1 HKCLR 126. Any person who incites, induces or invites another person to become a member of or assist in the management of a triad society and any person who uses any violence, threat or intimidation towards any other person in order to induce him to become a member or to assist in the management of a triad society shall be guilty of an offence: s 22(2).
