Lin Chuyin pointed out that although the Executive Yuan has reiterated it many times, I will say it again: the general budget for 2015 was postponed from September last year to mid-August this year before the third reading. Now there is an additional budget of more than 600 billion, which is related to subsidies for old farmers, national pensions, social welfare subsidies, military, public and educational bonuses, etc. If it is delayed until the end of the year, it may not be possible to retroactively distribute it.
Lin Chuyin bluntly said that since Blue and White support people's livelihood and social welfare and want to "supervise administration," then Blue and White should hurry up and submit the additional budget to the committee! Don't maliciously block and bully people in the program committee!

When the Legislative Yuan was reviewing the 2015 Central General Budget, Kuomintang legislator Weng Xiaoling proposed freezing the salary of Executive Director Zhuo Rongtai from September to December. DPP legislator Fan Yun asked Zhuo Rongtai whether he had received a salary during an inquiry. Zhuo Rongtai replied that he had not received a salary and explained that his intention was to compare with Legislative Yuan Hanguo-yu to emphasize that freezing the salary of the Executive Yuan was unconstitutional. Fan Yun cited the provisions of the Constitution and the Executive Yuan Organic Law, pointing out that statutory funds cannot be deleted or frozen, and questioned whether Zhuo Rongtai agreed to abide by the spirit of constitutional precedents. Zhuo Rongtai said that the salary freeze will lead to the possibility that future ministers and local officials will encounter the same treatment. There is absolutely no legal basis. However, based on the dignity of public servants, he will not give up his right to receive salary.

The Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus and legislator Weng Xiaoling proposed two referendum law amendments, namely, that constitutional amendment judgments can be reviewed and that Legislative Yuan referendums cannot be rejected, as priority bills in the new session. Legislator Lin Junxian criticized this as a political maneuver in an attempt to benefit from the year-end election. He pointed out that the essence of the amendment is to put the Legislative Yuan above the Constitutional Court, describing the future Legislative Yuan as "the world's invincible thunderbolt compound."
