Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen attended the closing ceremony of the 61st session of the Investigation Class of the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau today (7th). She reminded the students that the work of the Investigation Bureau involves national security and requires active resistance against infiltration, united front tactics, and annexation from the Chinese Communist Party.
President Tsai Ing-wen attended the “Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau Investigation Class 61st Session Closing Ceremony” today, with the attendance of National Security Council Secretary-General David Lee, Minister of Justice Tseng Ming-chien, Prosecutor General Hsing Tai-chao, Investigation Bureau Director Chen Pai-li, and Military Police Command Commander Cheng Chen-hsiang.
Tsai Ing-wen first presented certificates to the graduating students, honorary awards to instructors, and medals to the top three students in overall performance. In her address, she congratulated the graduating students on successfully completing the program and also congratulated the parents present, expressing joy in seeing their children complete the training and soon serve the country, society, and people.
President Tsai Ing-wen expressed sincere gratitude to Minister of Justice Tseng Ming-chien, Investigation Bureau Director Chen Pai-li, and the 11 instructors of this session. She also outlined three expectations and motivations for the graduating students:
First, they must deeply understand the mission of their work. The nature of the Investigation Bureau’s work is different from typical jobs, involving national security and social stability. They must actively combat infiltration, united front tactics, and annexation from the Chinese Communist Party while cooperating with relevant agencies to combat crimes, ensuring national security, social stability, and the peace of the people.
Second, they must not forget their original intentions. Among this year’s graduates are individuals from national security units, police units, and those with qualifications as lawyers, accountants, civil engineers, and more. Tsai believes that those who choose to join the Investigation Bureau have a strong sense of mission for this work, thus encouraging the students to uphold their original intentions and ideals against any threats or temptations. The locus of power is often the locus of temptation. When executing their duties with public authority, they are bound to encounter difficulties, challenges, and even threats and temptations. It is crucial to remember the training provided by the Investigation Bureau, stay true to their original intentions, and persevere in their ideals.
Third, they must continuously improve their skills. As society progresses, modern criminal techniques evolve, but they must hold onto the belief that “good will always prevail over evil.” It is essential to enhance their professional capabilities, innovate constantly, and raise their vigilance to combat financial crimes, drugs, fraud, or face various cunning tactics employed by the Chinese Communist Party such as infiltration and united front strategies.
Finally, Tsai Ing-wen extended her blessings to the graduating students for successful future endeavors and good health, thanking their family and friends for supporting their decision to join the ranks of the Investigation Bureau.
