Junius Kwan-yiu Ho (Chinese: 何君堯; born 4 June 1962) is a Hong Kong lawyer and politician. He is the former President of the Law Society of Hong Kong and Tuen Mun Rural Committee, and has been an elected member of the Tuen Mun District Council since 2015. In 2016, he was elected to the Legislative Council of Hong Kong.

In the 2016 Legco election, his campaign team were involved in intimidation of another election candidate. In 2017 he called for the deaths of Hong Kong independence activists, and in 2019 he defended the Yuen Long white-clad mob, calling them his "heroes" who should be "pardoned for defending their homes".

Early life

Ho came from a family of village leaders. He grew up in the old site of Leung Tin Village (Chinese: 良田村) in Tuen Mun. He is a 32nd-generation descendant of his Hakka clan, which can be traced back to the 10th century.

Ho attended Queen's College Hong Kong from 1975 to 1979, after which he went to the United Kingdom, where he enrolled at Chelmer Institute of Higher Education (now Anglia Ruskin University) and obtained his Bachelor of Law's degree in 1984. Ho joined a post-graduate programme at the University of Hong Kong in 1984 and obtained his Postgraduate Certificate in Laws (PCLL) in 1986. He was bestowed an honorary Doctorate of Laws by Anglia Ruskin University in 2011.

Career

After gaining his qualifications he was admitted as a solicitor in Hong Kong in 1988 and claimed to be similarly admitted in Singapore and England and Wales in 1995 and 1997. His qualifications caused controversy in 2017 when it was reportedly that Ho is not admitted in England and Wales, where he claimed to be admitted, according to the Solicitors Regulation Authority. He is the senior partner of a law firm in Hong Kong and a principal representative of a law firm in Guangzhou. His major practice field is civil litigation, specialising in shareholders' disputes and family disputes. He was appointed a China-Appointed Attesting Officer in 2003.

He became the Vice-President (June 2005 – May 2011) and Council Member of the Law Society of Hong Kong (May 2012 – present) and was elected as the President of the Law Society of Hong Kong (May 2011 – May 2012). Ho was appointed an independent director of Hong Kong Football Association.

Political career

Ho first contested in the Legislative Council election in 2008, running against Civic Party's Margaret Ng in the Legal functional constituency. He was defeated, receiving 1,286 votes, about 34 per cent of the vote.

Ho was elected as Chairman of Tuen Mun Rural Committee in 2011, ousting the long-time chairman and most powerful rural leader, chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk Lau Wong-fat. On that capacity he was also an ex officio member of the Tuen Mun District Council. He served as the rural committee chairman until 2015. He has also been a spokesman for the New Territories Concern Group. He was a candidate in the Legislative Council election in New Territories West in September 2012, where he received 10,805 votes, about two per cent of total vote share and was not elected.

He was a leading critic of the legal scholar Benny Tai's Occupy Central with Love and Peace which suggested a full-scale occupation protest in the form of civil disobedience to press the Beijing government to make concession on the electoral reform. He set up an anti-Occupy group called "Protect Central" which he said would resist the "Occupy" campaign. Being a hardcore pro-government figure, Ho was appointed to Lingnan University council by Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying in October 2015. Students staged a protest against the appointment over fears of political interference of university governance.

In the 2015 District Council elections, Junius Ho defeated Albert Ho of the Democratic Party in the latter's long-held Lok Tsui seat in a six-way contest by a narrow margin of 277 votes, as the pro-democracy votes were split between Albert Ho and Cheng Chung-tai of Civic Passion. Ho ran again in the 2016 Legislative Council election where he was reportedly backed by the Central People's Government's Liaison Office in Hong Kong. During the election, Ho and his supporters were allegedly involved in Liberal Party candidate Ken Chow Wing-kan's drop-out who claimed he had been intimated. Ho was elected with 35,657 votes, more than three times than the previous election, winning last of the nine seats in the New Territories West.

In May 2017, pro-democracy lawyer Kevin Yam published an article on the media urging solicitors not to vote for Junius Ho in the re-election of the governing council of the Law Society of Hong Kong. Ho issued filed a defamation lawsuit against Yam but eventually failed to be re-elected, securing only 572 votes out of 8,148 from his peers.

In April 2018, Ho became the only legislator to vote against the appointments of foreign judges Brenda Hale and Beverley McLachlin to the Court of Final Appeal over their support of same-sex rights, claimed the two opposed traditional "family values".

Controversies

Olfactory receptor 2S2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OR2S2 gene.

Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.
