The quality of free nutritious lunches in Taipei has sparked controversy, with blue and green politicians launching a war of words over the incident.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan.
Recently, the quality of free nutritious lunches in Taipei City has been worrying, and students and teachers are suspected of food poisoning. Shen Boyang, a candidate for Taipei mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, mentioned in an interview that he was not looking for enemies in Taipei City. The one who was looking for enemies in Taipei City was Chiang Wanan. He also mentioned that Chiang Kai-shek's government's "cognitive warfare" was the same as that of a rat going south. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan responded that Taipei citizens who have experienced a general recall are well aware of Shen Boyang's style. Spreading rumors today, not apologizing, and then shifting the responsibility to children is like inciting hatred and launching a recall, and then saying it was initiated by citizen groups.
Jiang Wanan criticized that in fact, the usual method used in general recalls in the past was to throw out rumors one after another, and they were cheap rumors, and then made the party being rumored exhausted and had to use five or ten times the effort to clarify the rumors. Then when the rumor was exposed, they quickly came out and said, "Oh, we were just asking questions, we were just discussing," and then quickly threw out another rumor.
Jiang Wanan said that Jinhua Junior High School is the best example. This time the Taipei City Government must strictly clarify these rumors. The most important reason is that such rumors hurt too many people, including students, parents, schools, and teachers. Tomorrow is Teachers' Day, and I would like to express my special gratitude to teachers for their dedication and contribution to the country and society. But at this point in time, teachers have to face frame-up and slander like Commissioner Shen and Councilor Jian, which is really regrettable.
Jiang Wanan said that Commissioner Shen did not seem to be so concerned about the rights of teachers. For example, when we had a holiday on Teachers' Day on September 28, Commissioner Shen voted against it. Fortunately, he was not the majority. Now we can have a holiday on Teachers' Day, thanking the teachers for their hard work. The Taipei City I have always wanted to build is a city that respects teachers, values education, and is ethical and honest, rather than harming the rights and dignity of teachers. So once again I would like to wish all the teachers a happy Teacher’s Day.
