[Reporter Ling Meixue/Report from Taipei] Writer Liao Yuhui published an article on the 2nd in a row, saying that in Dadaocheng and Daan District, Taipei City Jiang Wanan's "live voice" garbage truck was heard broadcasting along the streets, especially in Dadaocheng on the 6th. Please support Chiang Wanan in the presidential election!" The Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau vigorously refuted the matter, claiming that the content broadcast by the garbage truck was to assist the Health Bureau in promoting the "publicly funded vaccine" epidemic prevention information, and in no way violated administrative neutrality.

In this regard, Liao Yuhui was interviewed today (8th) and reconstructed the process of hearing Jiang Wanan's "live voice" garbage truck for two consecutive days. Liao Yuhui said that on that day in Dadaocheng, due to the noisy streets, she heard her husband's report, but had no time to ask for confirmation; but the next day in Da'an District, she heard the voice of the car keep emphasizing, "I am Jiang Wanan." She and her family thought, "Isn't this a problem of administrative non-neutrality?" So they checked with the people on the car, and the answer they got was that it was said to be a publicly funded vaccine, and another said it was to promote garbage classification. Liao Yuhui said that after the car drove away, her daughter chased after it but did not hear the relevant announcement, so they thought to themselves, "Are they feeling guilty?"

However, Liao Yuhui emphasized that the key point is that at this time when the election is fierce, who is running for mayor, has the opportunity to follow the garbage truck and broadcast everywhere on the street? "This is just a kind of packaging! It means that he is very caring and close to the people. In fact, he has never been like this before." Liao Yuhui thinks this is an election strategy. It is obvious that he has not avoided suspicion now.

Ke Zhien cut off the box office poison of "Zheng, Fu and Weng". The Public Supervisory Alliance criticized ticket fraud: In the future, he will still be an obedient dog.

In the countdown to the year-end election, KMT chairman Cheng Lai-wen, party chief convenor Fu Kunqi and legislator Weng Xiaoling are regarded as the "three major box-office poisons". Even blue-camp candidates Ke Zhien and Jiang Qichen have openly distanced themselves from each other. Zhang Honglin, CEO of the Gongdu League, criticized that KMT candidates cannot be separated from the party. If they really hate the party, they should quit the party and run for election without party membership. Otherwise, they are just "obedient dogs."
