During the questioning this morning (16th), Taitung County Councilor Lin Shentian questioned that the confidential secretarial room of the parliament was suspected to be occupied and became the private treasure trove of Speaker Wu Xiuhua’s husband. A large number of antiques were piled up. After asking the parliament to open the door for inspection and being refused, he once held a fire extinguisher and tried to break down the door, but was dissuaded. Council staff said it was a "private space" and they could not open the door without permission.
During the inquiry, Lin Shentian pointed out that there were concerns about a certain room in the parliament, and asked Secretary General Fang Ming to lead the members to open the room directly in accordance with the procedures for handling public issues. However, the chairman of the conference stated on the spot that the question time could not be suspended, and emphasized that although members had the right to take relevant actions, the question time must still count down. Lin Cantian immediately asked Secretary-General Fang Ming and General Affairs Director Xu Jinde to accompany him during the break.

The group went to the door of the "Confidential Secretary's Room". Lin Shentian pointed at the door and window and questioned the speaker's husband, Wu Xiuhua, who was a police officer and was the speaker's bodyguard (recently returned to the county police station). He had the extraordinary ability to occupy the office of the county council and pile up a large number of antiques. He demanded that the administrative unit of the council should open the door in accordance with the law to clarify the truth. Lin Shentian emphasized that he reported this matter as early as three years ago. Now that it is full of goods, how can he turn a blind eye.
Faced with Lin Shentian's strong request, Parliament Secretary-General Fang Ming and General Affairs Director Xu Jinde tried their best to dissuade him at the scene. Xu Jinde also called Speaker Wu Xiuhua for instructions, but he was given a private space and did not have the right to open the door. President Fang Ming explained to Lin Shentian that the room was not a public office space and belonged to personal areas. If it was a public office, everyone could come and go freely. However, it was inconvenient to open the private space without permission, and the administrative unit did not know what was specifically placed inside and could not open the door without permission.
