(Central News Agency reporter Chao Li-yen, Taichung, 9th) Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen today addressed the Legislative Yuan's passage of the special military procurement act on the 8th, stating her respect for the public opinion demonstrated by the third reading, but also called on the nation to pay attention to balancing public finances and also to the people's livelihood and economy.
The Legislative Yuan's third reading passed the "Special Act for the Procurement of National Defense and Asymmetric Warfare Capability Enhancement Plan," specifying an upper budget limit of NT$300 billion for the first batch of military procurement payment letters and NT$480 billion for the second batch. The Executive Yuan is to submit a related special report within one month after the act's passage. Only after approval by the Legislative Yuan can a budget proposal be prepared and submitted for review within two months.
Regarding the suspected hidden camera case at Aierli Clinic, Lu Shiow-yen attended a plaque presentation ceremony at Wuchi Haotian Temple this morning and stated in a media interview that Taichung would conduct a comprehensive re-inspection, especially for high-risk venues such as over 300 medical aesthetics establishments, some sports facilities, and saunas, which may face high risks of being secretly filmed.
She said that the Taichung City Government has established a "Joint Anti-Hidden Camera Expanded Inspection" project, uniting efforts to expand anti-hidden camera inspections, hoping all businesses cooperate. The most important thing is not to secretly film, but to protect consumer privacy and ensure everyone's safety.
Regarding rat control, Lu Shiow-yen stated that the "Taichung No Rat Project" is already in place, jointly carried out by 7 bureaus and departments, adopting 13 related cleaning measures, including markets, commercial districts, and catering businesses, and even construction sites, all undergoing cleaning and disinfection. On the 16th, all 625 villages and neighborhoods across the city will simultaneously undergo a comprehensive cleanup to maintain zero cases of Hantavirus in Taichung. (Editor: Li Ming-tsung) 1150509
