Kuomintang's Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ko Chi-en has recently drawn a personal refutation from Mayor Chen Chi-mai on municipal issues. Ko Chi-en said during an interview in Zuoying today, "My opponent is Lai Ruilong, not Chen Chi-mai." Today, Chen Chi-mai criticized Ko Chi-en for not having a clear understanding of municipal affairs and being too hasty when he suddenly thought of it. "I am so busy that I will really exhaust the mayor!"

Chen Qimai said in an interview today that no matter who they are, especially candidates, they will put forward their opinions or opinions on the city government's policies. Of course, as a city government, it must make some clarifications on policies. Councilor Li Yafen from the Kuomintang who was on the sidelines often gave a lot of advice. The city government will always provide explanations for its opinions. This is what the city government should do in the first place.

He said that it would be better for candidates to know more about municipal administration before raising political opinions. Otherwise, sometimes they would just suddenly think of something and talk about it. They may not be so clear about the municipal issue. I don't think it's good. It feels a bit too hasty and unfamiliar.

Policies should be well discussed and explained clearly, and should not be attacked and defended like this sometimes. It takes time to explain complex policies clearly. If the policy is not understood, it will take a lot of time for the city government to explain it. "The mayor is very busy, with so many things to do, and then suddenly makes a statement, which does not necessarily mean that he has a very in-depth understanding of the problem. This will really tire the mayor out!"
