Ma Ying-jeou's family affairs became more and more intense. Former President Ma Ying-jeou accused Xiao Xucen and Wang Guangci, the former CEOs of the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation, of "breaking financial discipline." However, it was unexpectedly revealed that Ma Ying-jeou was suspected of "dementia", which drew attention to Ma Ying-jeou's health.

Xiao and Wang also said yesterday (25th) that as early as last year, Ma Ying-jeou's wife Zhou Meiqing conveyed that Dr. Rong suggested that former President Ma should no longer attend public events. President Rong Jin responded by emphasizing that it was a matter of patient privacy and "absolutely cannot be discussed."

Yesterday, Ma Ying-jeou commissioned former National Security Council Secretary-General Jin Pucong to hold a press conference with lawyers, accountants and others to present relevant evidence that Xiao Xucen and Wang Guangci violated financial discipline.

Afterwards, Xiao and Wang issued statements one after another. In addition to refuting various accusations made by Jin Pucong at the press conference today, they also revealed that on October 28 last year, Mrs. Ma Zhou Meiqing conveyed a message from Chief Physician Rong, suggesting that former President Ma should no longer attend public events. Xiao Xucen also said: "This is something that former President Ma, the Ma family and his wife all know and agree with. If what is said is untrue, the Ma family and his wife are welcome to issue a press release to refute me."

According to comprehensive media reports, in response to Xiao and Wang's exposure of medical advice to the public, when questioned by the media yesterday, the Taipei General Hospital stressed that this involved patient privacy and that the target was the former head of state. "Nothing can be said, nothing can be said."
