The Keelung City Party Headquarters of the Chinese Kuomintang held a press conference today (12th). Keelung City Party Headquarters Spokesperson Lin Youde and Deputy Spokesperson Zhang Jiaxin questioned Tong Ziwei, the Keelung mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, and asked Tong Ziwei to respond directly to the MRT policy’s project planning, funding sources and Taiwan Railway’s survival issues. In this regard, Tong Ziwei's office in Keelung pointed out that Xie Guoliang's camp only took a picture and said it would not demolish the old Dagong Temple. Has it been endorsed by the Ministry of Transportation? Please thank the Xie Guoliang camp for a positive response.
Lin Youde said that the Keelung Mayor’s live online debate has come to an end, and the controversy over the demolition of Keelung MRT lines and religious sites continues to rage. Tong Ziwei alleged at the debate that the MRT plan proposed by Xie Guoliang may involve the demolition of the old Dagong Temple and the Keelung Soka Gakkai Hall. The Keelung City Government immediately clarified that the Keelung-Jiet Line does not pass through and has never been included in the scope of demolition.
Zhang Jiaxin said that Tong Ziwei's MRT policy has changed again and again. He has long advocated that MRT use the Taiwan Railway Corridor, but recently changed his tune and said that he would retain the Taiwan Railway. Zhang Jiaxin questioned, if the Taiwan Railway is to be retained, how can the two rail systems coexist?
In response to the content of today's press conference at the Kuomintang City Party Headquarters, Tong Ziwei's office in Keelung stated that Xie Guoliang's camp only showed a picture today and said it would not demolish the old Dagong Temple, which has no scientific basis at all. Thank you camp for your answer. Has the content of this piece of paper been endorsed by the Ministry of Transport? Otherwise, how can we ensure the feasibility of the project by treating "drawing" as "planning"? How can citizens rest assured whether the old Tai Kung Temple and the Soka Gakkai will be affected in the future?
