Executive President Zhuo Rongtai showed off the "Ocean Current Crew Certificate" of DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang in the Legislative Yuan yesterday (2nd). Blue committee member Wang Hongwei threatened to report him for violating the election and strike law. Shen Boyang said today that Wang should clearly read the quoted provisions, "which are regulating agencies."
Wang Hongwei alleged that according to Article 50 of the Law on the Election and Recall of Public Officials, central and local government agencies at all levels are not allowed to engage in any activities related to campaigning or recall publicity during the campaign for election or recall of public officials. Article 104-1 of the Law on the Election and Recall of Public Officials stipulates that heads of central and local government agencies at all levels or their agents or persons under their instructions who violate the provisions of Article 50 shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years.

Shen Boyang said in an interview this morning that because he had to attend the founding meeting of Councilor Chung Pei-ling's presidential election today and did not want to attend classes here, he asked the Kuomintang to read the provisions clearly. The provisions they cited were in the "regulatory agencies" and they could just figure this out themselves.
Some netizens discovered that Zhuo Rongtai's "crew certificate" number plate exceeded 120,000. Isn't he too good? Are you responsible for cleaning the deck on board the ship? Shen Boyang laughed and said that Dean Zhuo's number was indeed a bit too late, and he didn't expect to get the certificate so late, but obviously the dean was also very busy with official duties.
