(CNA, New Taipei, 14th, Reporters Huang Hsu-sheng and Tsao Ya-yen) KMT's New Taipei City mayoral candidate, Lee Szu-chuan, continued his grassroots visits today, advocating for the expansion of the senior citizen card to cover medical care and elderly products. DPP candidate Su Chiao-hui, on the other hand, released a video of former President Tsai Ing-wen unboxing her campaign office, emphasizing the creation of a new atmosphere with a youthful approach.
Before a radio interview today, KMT's New Taipei City mayoral candidate Lee Szu-chuan told reporters that the problem facing seniors in New Taipei is not a lack of points on their senior cards, but that the scope of use is not wide enough. Especially in remote areas without MRT access, the points on the senior cards go unused.
Lee said he hopes to expand the use of the senior card points to include medical care like clinic visits and prescription pick-ups, as well as daily necessities for the elderly, long-term care supplies, or even buying milk with their grandchildren. He hopes to upgrade the senior card to better meet the needs of the elderly.
Lee also visited Xindian District today for a discussion with local residents. His campaign office stated that in his speech, he proposed a vision of "joint governance for Taipei and New Taipei," hoping to work closely with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an to upgrade the "one-day living circle" of the two cities to a "30-minute metropolitan living circle."
DPP's New Taipei City mayoral candidate Su Chiao-hui's campaign office released a video on social media today, featuring former President Tsai Ing-wen's recent preview tour of the campaign office. The video also unveiled the "dynamic identity system visuals" created by the team's young designers, as well as decorations like a radial light wall and three-dimensional conceptual art.
Speaking to the media at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Yingge Public Park No. 8 underground parking lot today, Su Chiao-hui stated that she had already proposed six major welfare policies in February this year. These include upgrading the senior card by not only increasing the points to 1000 per month but also extending the validity period to a full year. The card could be used for public transportation as well as shopping, making it more user-friendly and flexible.
She said that her current campaign office, which will become her campaign headquarters, is gradually taking shape. Because former President Tsai Ing-wen has a strong affection for New Taipei, she was specially invited to preview the office and cheer on the team before the official opening.
She relayed that Tsai found the campaign office very novel and felt it could represent the ideals and attitude of the campaign team. The team also aims to use new concepts and new technologies to create a progressive New Taipei City. (Editor: Lee Hsi-chang) 1150514
