The nine-in-one general election is heating up. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, who is seeking re-election, went to Liaoning Night Market last night to sweep the streets. Legislator Wang Hongwei, North City Council Deputy Speaker Ye Linchuan and others accompanied him. When the street sweepers passed the dumpling shop "One Village" that had publicly expressed support for Yangliu, a large number of people gathered in front of the shop and shouted loudly many times. The scene caused people to question the mobilization and behavior of a debt collection group. In response to this incident, Jiang Wanan responded today (7th) that he was "very sorry." In this regard, Taipei City Councilor Hsu Shu-hua of the Democratic Progressive Party bluntly stated, "The election is a request, not a pressure," and emphasized that "it is okay to support anyone in Taiwan, and we are still good neighbors."

Xu Shuhua posted an article today pointing out that Mayor Jiang Wanan also said he was "very sorry" about the scene at the Liaoning night market last night. She believes that this sentence is sincere, and hopes that everyone will remember it every time she sweeps the streets in the future. "

Xu Shuhua said, "When we accompanied DPP Taipei City candidate Shen Boyang to sweep the streets, we would always ask the owner if it was inconvenient before entering the store. When customers were dining, we would wave at the door. In fact, we all know which store supports whom, and those who don't support us say thank you and wish the business a prosperous business. In Taiwan, you can support anyone, and we are still good neighbors."

Netizens left messages one after another after seeing the post. Some said, "Great wisdom", "Remember to vote for 'the lifestyle we want'", "I have been mayor for four years but I don't know how to avoid suspicion at all... I know clearly that my supporters are so "enthusiastic", but I did not stop them in time and instead let them. "So, what's the motive?", "They are so arrogant, and we haven't tried hard to help Shen Boyang. There are only 20 days left, so everyone must stay calm." "As a mayor, if you ignore the people around you and bully the store, and don't stop them, you really have no qualifications to be a leader."

The Threads account "Taiwan Meme taiwanmeme" commented, "What the congressman said is true. We have seen in the news and live broadcasts that Boyang and you are both gentle. Moreover, people in this kind of street sweeping place will know which store is more favorable to us and which store is more supportive of the other side, so friendly public opinion representatives will know Avoid conflicts, nod when passing by, and sometimes remind supporters to walk over quickly when they are choked. This is the first time I have seen people like Wang Hongwei taking the lead outside shouting loudly and surrounding them. If she is not taking the lead, she must not understand her constituency at all, both of which are terrible."

Malaysia’s king warns against challenging Najib’s house arrest

Malaysia's King Sultan Ibrahim warned that any attempt to challenge his pardon order allowing former prime minister Najib Razak to move from jail to house arrest could amount to defying his decree, after authorities delayed Najib's transfer on Friday.

Not attending the anti-air pollution demonstration Zhuang Jieren: I don’t want to simply protect trees and be confused by the demands of the “peace agreement and anti-arms purchase”

Zhuang Jieren, the founder of the campaign to save the Qiaotou Sugar Factory's 100 hectares of forest, issued a statement stating that he would not attend the "Anti Air Pollution, Protect the Forest, Save Kaohsiung" rally and march on November 8. He was worried that it would be held at the same place and at the same time as the "2026 Autumn Fight", which would lead to the Autumn Fight's anti-arms purchase, anti-Lai Qingde and other political demands to confuse the pure tree protection movement, and allow the non-partisan forest protection action to be labeled as a unionist or anti-DPP.
