Lin Yueqin, DPP legislator and candidate for Miaoli mayor, yesterday accused Chen Renjie, chairman of the Miaoli Citizens' Representative Association, of changing his shell to contract the Miaoli County Government and Miaoli City Public Offices for a total of 300 million yuan. The Chen Renjie Service issued a statement today (2nd) stating that Chen Renjie had already faced the administrative fine of more than 10 million yuan due to the old "Public Officials' Conflict of Interest Avoidance Act" more than 10 years ago. He had paid the fine in full within five years and had absolutely no evasion of legal obligations. Chen Renjie counter-denounced Lin Yueqin's failure to withdraw from the conflict of interest, which was basically "being a thief and shouting to catch the thief."

The Chen Renjie Service pointed out that the old "Public Officials' Conflict of Interest Avoidance Act" was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court Interpretation No. 716 due to excessive penalties and violation of the principle of proportionality, and was amended by the Legislative Yuan. After the revision of the law, it has been clearly stipulated that as long as a "prior disclosure form of identity and relationship" is attached in accordance with the law, you can openly participate in government bidding and transactions.

The Chen Renjie Service Office criticized Lin Yueqin as a legislator, but she didn’t even understand the laws revised by the Legislative Yuan? If we follow Legislator Lin's absurd logic, are all government agencies and all public servants who review and implement public bidding in accordance with national laws and regulations illegal and derelict in their duties?

The Chen Renjie Service strongly questioned that Legislator Lin Yueqin's accusation that others have no interests to evade is simply "being a thief and shouting to catch the thief", and serious interests are not evading. Lin Yueqin is a current legislator and also serves as a high-profile director, vice chairman and consultant of multiple foundations and civil organizations. During her tenure, relevant foundations and civil society groups received central ministry monograms and subsidies before and after Lin Yueqin took office as a legislator. Preliminary estimates indicate that the total amount is as high as more than 64.79 million yuan. Legislators have the power to review the central budget, but their own groups enjoy getting government bids and subsidies. This is the real benefit that cannot be avoided! Who has the right to accuse local manufacturers who opened bids in accordance with the law and attached disclosure forms in accordance with the law?

The Chen Renjie Service calls on Legislator Lin Yueqin to put down the arrogant attitude of "big doctor", first improve your legal knowledge and moral standards, bravely admit your mistakes, and stop using your dark corners and double standards to smear Miaoli people!
