Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang emphasized that there were 12 construction projects during his tenure. However, Lin Youchang, the former Minister of the Interior and former Keelung Mayor, choked Xie Guoliang today. The arcade leveling, municipal library, Badouzi Fishing Port promotion, etc. were all planned during his tenure. Xie Guoliang did not see a vision for new construction and urban development during his tenure. Moreover, he spent more than 100 billion during his 4 years in office. Keelung has not made progress or change, so why waste another 4 years?
Xie Guoliang proposed 12 construction projects during his term, including the renovation of the arcade, District 1 and 1 indoor children's playground, the completion and opening of the Keelung Municipal Library Main Building and being shortlisted for the Taiwan Architecture Award, and the investment promotion and development of Bisha Fishing Port won the first place in the Ministry of Finance's investment promotion, etc. When he visited the streets of Chenggong Market today to sweep the streets, he emphasized that these constructions are all sentimental, and it is necessary to explain these constructions at the last moment to get votes out.
However, Lin Youchang said that many construction projects, including the leveling of the arcades, the city map, and the Bisha Fishing Port, were all planned and designed during his tenure. One indoor children's park in one zone is a good thing, and citizens also need it, but the level should be upgraded to a children's museum. Special bus booths are also good, but what is more important in Keelung is a complete identification system.
Lin Youchang believes that Keelung can be turned around in just eight years during his tenure because of very precise planning and design, rather than wanting to do things east or west. So far, he has not seen any major construction in Keelung that can promote Keelung's economic and urban development vision.
Lin Youchang said that Xie Guoliang spent more than 100 billion in the past four years, but did not see the progress and changes in the city. If there is no progress and changes, why waste the other four years?
