[Reporter Wang Qianhao/Taipei Report] KMT Legislator Wang Hongwei held a press conference today (3rd) and stated that he will make specific proposals to amend the "Regulations on Courtesy of Outgoing Presidents and Vice Presidents" and lower the courtesy money of the president and deputy heads of state to 75,000 yuan , calling on Premier Chen Jianren and DPP legislators to support the proposal.

Wang Hongwei said that when Chen Jianren took office, he was proud of being the one who could best implement the will of President Tsai Ing-wen. In the past, Chen Jianren said in a TV program that Tsai Ing-wen once said that in the future, it would be good to receive the pension of ordinary civil servants in the courtesy regulations, about It is about 75,000 yuan.

In addition, in the past, the DPP legislators also had proposals, but they did not follow through. Now that Chen Jianren has taken office as Ge Kui, his past promises to the military, public education and the whole people can really be fulfilled.

Wang Hongwei pointed out that DPP legislator Liu Shifang had relevant proposals in 2017. At that time, 28 people, including Wu Bingrui, Luo Zhizheng, Su Qiaohui, and Zheng Yunpeng, jointly signed and revised the courtesy fee to 80,000 yuan.

She said that if the DPP legislators are willing to support it, she is also willing to adjust the revised amount to 80,000 yuan, and the difference of 5,000 yuan is acceptable.

Wang Hongwei further pointed out that the legislator of the Democratic Progressive Party also said at that time: "The outgoing president and vice president not only have courtesy money, but also business expenses, but what kind of work do they need to do after they both leave office? The less the outgoing president does, the better. If there are too many, it will cause trouble." I hope that the committee members can implement the bill as soon as possible, and set an example for the society.

Wang Hongwei said bluntly that Chen Jianren once said in the past that the New Year's Pension System should be "obtained from generation to generation, and will be old for a long time." He also said that the annual reform is a necessary reform that "if you don't do it today, you will regret it tomorrow." The reform is procrastinating. Now that the ruling term is about to expire, if he still breaks his promise, then Chen Jianren's declaration in the next year will not be enough to be trusted.

Since the content of the draft also involves former President Ma Ying-jeou and others, have you communicated with the party leaders or the party group beforehand?

Wang Hongwei said that the relevant proposals have not yet been reported to the senior committee members, and they will seek support not only from within the party but also from the DPP legislators.

In addition, Guo Guowen, a legislator of the Democratic Progressive Party, asked Wang Hongwei to explain clearly the two election subsidy funds. She is willing to help sign the proposals of the party's legislators, and they are all applicable, otherwise they will be political struggles and political slobber.
