Tang Ruting was awarded Zeng Liyan's ribbon to symbolize her inheritance. Taiwan Forward Front Yu Xianling questioned the standard of integrity.

Tang Ruting, who ran for Kaohsiung City Councilor District 10 (Qianzhen, Xiaogang) 4 years ago and lost the election, was approved by the Kuomintang to run after former KMT speaker Zeng Liyan was unable to run. She even knelt on one knee to accept Zeng Liyan's campaign ribbon as a symbol of inheritance. In this regard, Yu Xianling, who ran on behalf of the "Taiwan Forward Front", questioned today (14th), what does Tang Ruting think of Zeng Liyan's corruption verdict? Do the reforms and cleanliness that we once talked about still count now?

The Kuomintang only nominated two current members, Cai Wuhong and Chen Lina, in the Kaohsiung City Council District 10. Former speaker Zeng Liyan is still in judicial proceedings due to a case involving fraudulent assistant fees and was not nominated by the KMT. After Tang Ruting quit the Times Force, she was approved to run by the KMT this time. At the founding meeting of the General Assembly on the 12th, she was personally awarded the battle flag by Ke Zhien, and she knelt down to accept the campaign ribbon worn by Zeng Liyan, symbolizing inheritance.

In this regard, Yu Xianling, a member of the "Obasan Alliance for Small People's Participation in Politics" who ran for election on behalf of the "Taiwan Forward Front", pointed out that Zeng Liyan, who put on the ribbon for Tang Ruting, was sentenced to 12 years in prison in both the first and second trials for fraudulently claiming assistant fees. The court of second instance found that she fraudulently obtained more than 10 million yuan in public funds and misappropriated it for personal use through the use of capitation assistants and low wages and high returns. According to reports on September 8, prosecutors believe that six people including the assistant surnamed Wu were suspected of fabricating salary receipts in court in order to help Zeng Liyan escape guilt, and have been charged with perjury.

Yu Xianling questioned, facing these records, she wanted to ask Tang Ruting, "What kind of inheritance are you going to accept?" What do you think of Zeng Liyan’s corruption verdict? "Four years ago, we were the third force competing against each other. I believe we still hope to bring some changes to the voters. Four years later, you chose to join the KMT, and now you have accepted the legacy of Zeng Liyan."

Yu Xianling emphasized that she knows that elections are difficult and she also knows how hard it is to stay in the third force. Everyone has a choice, but when you publicly accept the handover from a politician, do you want to face her and leave a record together? "Do those reforms and cleanliness that we once talked about still count now?" She said loudly, "I choose my persistence!"
