Font size

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, was accused by the Kuomintang of "equating drugs and medicines" for an article he published 12 years ago. Shen Boyang called on Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan not to "create panic." Chiang Wanan posted a reply on Facebook, "Don't use the Mesa winter plan." "Painting to cover up", comments immediately flooded in with questions, and it was also reported that the editor had deleted the post, causing the number of comments to increase dramatically. As of 11:07 am today (4th day), the number of comments exceeded 378,000, breaking Facebook's world record of 377,000 comments in 24 hours. Jiang Wanan was interviewed in the afternoon and said that maybe he could actually apply and let the world see Taiwan’s electoral culture.

When Jiang Wanan attended the founding meeting of the Education Support Association in the afternoon, he was asked how he could apply for a world record after seeing more than 400,000 Facebook messages. He said that any rational discussion is welcome. "Maybe you can really apply to let the world see Taiwan's electoral culture." But as the mayor, his position is firmly and resolutely opposed to the decriminalization of drugs. He hopes that all citizens and friends can stand up together on November 28 to defend this policy stance and attitude.

Jiang Wanan said that he would appeal to Shen Boyang to put down his idea of ​​decriminalizing drugs; although many policies can be learned from Europe and the United States, not everything from Europe and the United States can be learned and suitable for implementation in Taipei City. The moon is not rounder abroad. Whether it is drug injection rooms or drug decriminalization promoted abroad, they are very unsuitable for implementation in Taipei.

Regarding the Facebook editor being questioned about deleting comments, Jiang Wanan first emphasized, how can he delete a message worth 400,000? I hope that everything will return to rational discussion. Everyone is welcome to have rational discussion and can accommodate different opinions. Faced with such a large number of messages coming in, the public's eyes are sharp, and society has its own public comment.

As for campus drug prevention, Jiang Wanan said that there is absolutely zero tolerance for campus drugs. It not only strengthens detection and traces the source, but also moves forward the defense line to prevent campus drugs. The coverage rate of various anti-virus publicity courses is 100%, and the number of anti-virus goalkeepers enrolled in the class to conduct relevant publicity has exceeded 110,000, and it has been recognized by the Ministry of Education for two consecutive years. It means to combine the police, social affairs, health, education and other bureaus and units to comprehensively prevent drugs from entering the campus.
