(Central News Agency reporter Huang Li-chun, Taipei, 4th) Mirror Media reported that Taipei City Councilor Lin Liang-chun of the Democratic Progressive Party was accused of allegedly setting up the Environmental Protection Bureau to administer rat poison and then using the reported results for political manipulation. Lin Liang-chun today directly criticized Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an for "splashing dirty water," saying he was "number one or two" in doing so, and stated that she would continue to speak out for the people and would not fear slander.
The issue of rat infestation in Taipei City continues to spread. Mirror Media reported today that an informed source revealed that Taipei City Councilor Lin Liang-chun allegedly set up the Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau to administer rat poison, and then turned around and used the bureau's reported results to operate on Facebook, angrily denouncing "rat poison everywhere" in parks. The report also stated that the source criticized Lin Liang-chun for "inducing poison with poison," undoubtedly targeting Chiang Wan-an.
Lin Liang-chun today stated on Facebook, "Shocked! This morning, a 'exclusive' report suddenly appeared, using an informed source to smear and attack me for inducing the Environmental Protection Bureau to administer rat poison." She questioned whether the Chiang City Government now forbids councilors from assisting citizens with rat infestation complaints, or from speaking out for pet owners and parents who are worried about accidentally touching rat poison.
Lin Liang-chun said, "May I ask the Chiang City Government, can the rat infestation in Taipei City be solved by releasing news to bring down Lin Liang-chun?" As a councilor for the Zhongshan and Datong districts, she will conscientiously perform her oversight duties, continue to speak out for citizens, and will not fear slander. She also asked Chiang Wan-an to do the work a mayor should do, and not to neglect proper duties and "splash dirty water" as "number one or two."
Lin Liang-chun also stated that it is truly helpless to be accused of "inducing" when reporting rat infestations in Taipei City, and to be smeared and attacked by the Taipei City Government for assisting citizens with complaints.
Lin Liang-chun said that on April 30, a citizen posted that they saw rats in Shuanglian during the day. She received the citizen's complaint and immediately reported it to the city government for handling. After the city government administered the poison, a large number of citizens commented, worried about children and animals accidentally touching or ingesting it. She posted a reminder to citizens to pay attention and reported citizens' concerns about the method of administering the poison to the city government.
Lin Liang-chun stated that according to the Taipei City Government's rat control meeting and extermination propaganda, poison must be placed in "safe bait stations" and "avoid accidental ingestion by children and pets." "The Chiang City Government can attack me today, but please do not ignore these real concerns of citizens!" (Editor: Xiao Bowen) 1150504
