Liao Yuhui questioned the garbage truck broadcaster's support for Jiang Wanan. The Environmental Protection Bureau clarified that it was "wrong": untrue remarks

Writer Liao Yuhui published an article yesterday saying that in Dadaocheng, she actually heard a garbage truck broadcasting along the street "Please support Jiang Wanan in the mayoral election!" and questioned whether there is any concern about the private use of public equipment? Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau Director Xu Shixun left a message to clarify, "You definitely heard it wrong!" He also pointed out that it is impossible for the garbage trucks of the Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau to have such a broadcast. Such untrue remarks are harmful to the Environmental Protection Bureau and front-line cleaning colleagues. It also encourages the unhealthy trend of election rumors. He also called for concrete verification.

The Environmental Protection Bureau later stated that the content broadcast by the garbage truck was to assist the Health Bureau in promoting epidemic prevention information about "the launch of publically funded vaccines", and there was absolutely no election canvassing or violation of administrative neutrality. The Environmental Protection Bureau also emphasized that all garbage truck broadcasts strictly abide by the "Administrative Neutrality Act for Public Servants" and related regulations, and will never be involved in any election activities.

The Environmental Protection Bureau explained that the garbage truck on-board broadcasting system has long been the city's important public welfare platform for people's livelihood and municipal publicity. Recently, it has cooperated with Taipei City's public-funded vaccine launch on November 2. It will follow previous practice and assist in playing the epidemic prevention propaganda audio file recorded by the mayor. The broadcast period is from November 2 to On November 21, the entire recording lasted for 1 minute and 18 seconds. The first and last 20 seconds were of the familiar "Girl's Prayer" melody. Interspersed were the mayor's repeated propaganda twice to expand the scope of vaccination, calling on citizens over 50 years old to actively take the COVID-19 and influenza vaccines to protect themselves and their families.

However, Liao Yuhui posted again this morning, mentioning that Jiang Wanan's voice was heard again in Da'an District at around 8 o'clock yesterday evening. Liao Yuhui said that in the decades she has lived in Da'an District, no mayor has ever used a garbage truck to promote policies during an election. Could it be that at this sensitive moment, the mayor does not know how to avoid suspicion? Isn't it true that the proverb goes: "If you don't wear shoes in the melon field, you won't be able to dress up your head"? Are the Environmental Protection Bureau officials as ignorant as the mayor? At this moment... the mayor's voice caused the garbage truck to play a tinny sound all the way from Dadaocheng in the east to Da'an District in the south? There is no golden armor in the city, only the sound of Wan'an can be heard. Unless the sound is garbage that should be dumped, having it broadcast all the way from the garbage truck is a typical public tool for private use, and the administration is not neutral.
