(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Chun-lin, Taipei, 30th) Minister of Justice Cheng Ming-chien today was invited as the opening guest for a professional baseball game between CTBC Brothers and Rakuten Monkeys. He said: "The year-end election is a critical 9-inning battle. Facing opponents who want to get on base with money offensives, we must show the strongest defense lineup."
Coinciding with the Chinese Professional Baseball League season, Cheng Ming-chien was invited as the opening guest for the game. In addition to kicking off the game, he also called on fans to "face illegal activities head-on," "combat drugs, strike out fraud, and shut out bribery." The Taichung District Prosecutors Office also set up an interactive promotional booth outside the stadium, allowing fans to learn about fraud prevention and anti-drug knowledge in a relaxed manner.
Cheng Ming-chien stated that baseball is Taiwan's national sport, and every exciting game is built on the fair enforcement of rules and the self-discipline of players. This spirit is consistent with the government's goal of defending social justice and promoting "rejecting drugs, combating fraud, and anti-bribery." He hopes to use the popularity of baseball to convey the awareness of protecting our homeland to everyone present and watching on TV.
Facing the threat of emerging drugs, Cheng Ming-chien encouraged fans to pour their passion into sports, like powerful hitters, hitting drugs out of the park, not giving them any chance to land. Regarding the endless new types of telecommunication fraud, he reminded young people to keep a clear head in the digital world and not easily trust unknown information. Just like an ace pitcher striking out illegal activities with a fastball, only with the concerted efforts of all citizens can drugs be kept off the field and fraud be completely out.
In addition, Cheng Ming-chien used the analogy of a game's defensive lineup, stating that the year-end election is a critical 9-inning battle. Facing opponents who want to get on base with money offensives, we must show the strongest defense lineup. He called on the public to exercise their sense of justice and become "democratic umpires," bravely saying "no" to illegal vote-buying, so that bribery is shut out.
The Ministry of Justice stated that it hopes to transform solemn legal decrees into lively everyday language through cross-sector collaboration with major sports events. The government will continue to adopt diverse channels to embed legal education into daily life. (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150430
