Kuomintang Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ke Zhien went to Qianzhen Fishing Port for a survey on the 24th. Democratic Progressive Party Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Lai Ruilong Suanke "sees the decline of Qianzhen Fishing Port first and then harvests it." Ke Zhien was asked this morning (25th) when she went to the Jianxing Market in Sanmin District to canvass for votes. She countered that Lai always had these words and asked Lai to face reality.
Ke Zhien said that Lai Ruilong will always only have these words. Representatives of public opinion monitor the money spent by the government and know where the problems are. They hope that government units can propose reform measures and spend money wisely. This is a matter of course. I don’t know why he is so unwilling to face reality. Spending 8.1 billion yuan is certainly optimistic about the results, but there are already many problems that need to be improved. Government officials are invited to come and look at it and find solutions. What is there to pessimize and harvest? I hope Lai Ruilong can face the reality.
