(Taipei, April 18) Taipei City Councilor Liu Cai-wei stated at the City Council's Civil Affairs Department interpellation yesterday that after Chiang Wan-an stepped down as a legislator, his Zhongshan District legislative service office number was deactivated. However, after a three-month cooling-off period, Chunghwa Telecom re-released the number, leading to the new holder of the number frequently receiving complaints from others, with some even claiming to be "Chiang Wan-an's wife" and demanding to speak with him.
Liu Cai-wei said that the citizen has repeatedly expressed being disturbed and urged the city government to provide more active assistance and proactively communicate with Chunghwa Telecom. She suggested that the retention period for phone numbers previously used by political figures should be extended in the future to prevent similar situations.
Taipei City Government Secretary-General Wang Yu-fen responded that upon learning of the matter, she requested relevant legislative bodies to update or remove pages that recorded this phone number. She added that they will discuss with Chunghwa Telecom to extend the suspension period for numbers previously used by political figures.
Chiang Wan-an, before attending the 40th-anniversary celebration of Neihu High School today, told reporters that his old service office number was actually discontinued a long time ago, and that if citizens have any municipal needs, they should call the 1999 citizen hotline.
