(Central News Agency reporter Wang Hung-kuo, New Taipei 4th) The New Taipei City mayoral election is heating up, with both sides actively campaigning, and online social media has become the main battleground for the 'air war.' DPP candidate Su Chiao-hui stated that everyone has their own style and rhythm, hoping to gain voter recognition; KMT candidate Lee Sze-chuan admitted he is still learning.
Su Chiao-hui accepted a joint media interview today after attending the Taipei Hospital's 54th-anniversary celebration. She stated that she and DPP legislator Wu Pi-hui jointly secured a budget of NT$6 billion for the expansion of the critical and severe illness building, which will be operational next year, hoping that updated hospital facilities can benefit more people.
When asked by the media about her opponent's social media operations on Threads, Su Chiao-hui stated that it is very natural for candidates to operate social media, and everyone will have their own style and rhythm. She and her team are constantly looking for the latest, most creative, and most dynamic topics, hoping to interact with everyone to report on her policies and vision, and gain more recognition.
She stated that she has been operating her 'Otter Mom' channel for nearly 6 years, which is popular with many children and adults. Recently, many physical activities have been added, and all spots were filled instantly upon registration. Even during many events, many 'little otters' would rush out to hug her, which deeply moved her.
Lee Sze-chuan accepted a joint media interview today while visiting the Guang En Elderly Care Center. When asked by reporters about his 'random' replies on Threads regarding Nvidia, Lee Sze-chuan stated that his Threads account was only established less than a month ago, and "I will diligently learn and use their language to reply to young people."
In addition, Lee Sze-chuan was interviewed today by host Huang Kuang-chin on the 'Zhongwu Lai Kai Hui' political talk show on Huiliu News Network. Regarding public concerns about his age, Lee Sze-chuan stated that he grew up in a fishing village in Xiaoliuqiu, which was not wealthy at the time, and as the eldest child, he had to take on the responsibility of caring for his younger siblings.
He stated that growing up by the sea, catching fish and crabs in Xiaoliuqiu, he never cared about his appearance and never maintained it, so he looks the way he does now. However, he emphasized that age is not an issue in municipal work.
As for the recent 'rat infestation' in Taipei City and a recent case of Hantavirus in New Taipei City, Lee Sze-chuan stated that he has great confidence in Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an and New Taipei Mayor Hou Yu-ih, and that the teams in both Taipei and New Taipei already have emergency response teams, believing that the teams will resolve the issues as soon as possible.
