Updated Saturday, July 10, 2010 0:11 am TWN, The China Post new staff Legislative Yuan to continue working despite DPP boycottThe decision to skip the article-by-article review by a legislative committee was approved one day earlier amid chaos and blood-drawing fights staged by DPP lawmakers. DPP legislators challenged Wang's ruling again yesterday. But Wang insisted that he heard no one and saw no one raising opposition to the vote by lawmakers on Thursday, otherwise he would have handled the process in an other way. DPP lawmakers accused Wang, a member of the ruling Kuomintang, of being a hypocrite who made an elaborate effort to ignore their opposition. But Wang reaffirmed that he did not see the expression of dissent views on sending the economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) with China and proposed revisions of related laws like patent law, trademark law, import customs tariff schedule, and regulations concerning plant species and seedlings direct for second reading by lawmakers. He stressed that it would be impossible for him to ignore any noticeable conflicting voices when votes were cast on a total of five bills. In addition, the proposal of not requiring the premier to personally appear at the Legislative Yuan to give a report on the ECFA was also adopted, Wang said. Lawsuit Legislator Wu Yu-sheng of the KMT said he decided to file a formal lawsuit against DPP lawmaker Huang Wei-cher for hurling a clock that hit the right side of his forehead above the eyebrow that drew gushing blood despite Huang making a belated apology. Wu was hospitalized and received several stitches above the corner of his right eye, according to doctors at the National Taiwan University Hospital. Several female KMT legislators held a press conference to blast the violence ignited by the DPP lawmakers. They also displayed the clock, which weighs 1.1 kilograms or the equivalent of more than half of a standard brick, at the press conference. The DPP legislative caucus decided to boycott the ongoing legislative session after its lawmakers walked out of the Legislative Yuan en masse in protest against the decision to conduct a second reading on July 13, along with amendments to several affiliated laws. The DPP caucus said its members will now travel throughout the country over a one-month period to explain the ECFA's disadvantages to grassroots voters. Comments July 10, 2010 mordrake@ Reply The DPP are only interested in power, and have nothing but utter contempt for Democracy. We, the people, voted for the current administration because the majority was fed up with the hardship of 8 years in the economic wilderness (not to mention corruption), at a time when the rest of the world was booming. Now there's an economic crisis, and the KMT can deliver 14% - which is a staggering performance. This is what the people want - a decent LIVELIHOOD. But the DPP can't bear to see the KMT preside over such phenomenal economic success, so they hold the country to ransom by paralyzing the LY. Then stir up ethnic hatred. The usual tricks of their trade. Maggots, all of them. July 10, 2010 alexand55@ Taiwan is a society that prizes consensus. It will be interesting to see how this long struggle to prevent social consensus on ECFA - by a president with under 30% of approval ratings - is reflected in the presidential poll in 2012 (and those in 2010 and 2011). July 13, 2010 johnny.brian@ mordrake@I agree with you. DPP are sour loser and maggots. Using self-righteousness to promote themselves and projecting a true Pen Tu image to the people living here in order to win election. July 13, 2010 ludahai_twn@ @mordrake -- you have fallen hook line and sinker for the kmt's economic line. under president Chen, the economy was actually quite good with solid economic growth and low inflation. You have fallen for the Q1 economic growth number but forget that it was after a Q1 contraction of more than 11 percent the previous year. As the Q1 number is a Y on Y number, the actual economic growth per annum on a Q1 basis between 2008 and 2010 is less than 1.3%.,, !!! I know facts are a problem for the blues, so you prefer to ignore them... July 15, 2010 carltanong@ @ludahai_twnDont forget that our late President Chiang Ching-kuo launched the "Fourteen Major Construction Projects" and the "Twelve New Development Projects" that contributed to the "Taiwan Miracle" and accelerating the process of economic modernization and growth... Nipponese Lee Teng Hui and Corrupt Chen and the Greens should be thankful to inherit President Chiang Ching-kuo achievements and accomplishments that given them to continue. But who knows N_LTH only achievement is to kowtow inside the Yasukuni Shrine and Corrupt Chen contributed himself as the Icon of Corruption. And you as a teacher and the greens should be thankful to President Horsy and KMT today to launched another "Taiwan Miracle" that is ECFA. But you ignore it. PENDU!!! Kap L_N. |
