[Reporter Lu Yixuan/Taipei Report] Weekly broke the news that Yang Hongzhi, the chairperson of the Yunan Safety Committee, went to the car maintenance factory during working hours, and even went to Yilan to soak in hot springs.

Executive Yuan spokesman Chen Zongyan said today that President Chen Chien-jen has ordered the Department of Political Conduct to investigate as quickly as possible and will complete the investigation report within 3 days.

The new cabinet of the Executive Yuan took office. On January 31, many heads of ministries and commissions were busy handing over. However, the weekly report pointed out that Yang Hongzhi, the chairman of the National Transportation Safety Investigation Committee (referred to as the National Transportation Safety Committee), went out from his home in Shilin to take an official car. Instead of going to the office for handover or going directly to the office, he went to a car maintenance factory. His wife was driving her own car and parked outside the maintenance factory, waiting for Yang Hongzhi to arrive at the scene and send the car to the maintenance factory for overhaul.

Yang Hongzhi said that the National Sports Safety Association is an independent organization and does not need to be handed over. He learned that his wife had a problem with the car and needed repairs. He was indeed on his way to work.

In addition to going to the car maintenance factory on the way to work, Yang Hongzhi was also exposed to the news that he often used his work to go to Yilan. He went to Yilan for a bath at the end of last year.

Yang Hongzhi said that he had seen the photos of the so-called bathing in Yilan, and admitted that the person was indeed him, but has anyone been in the bathing for less than 30 minutes?

In my impression that day, at most, I went to the scene to understand the environment, stayed very briefly, and denied that I was in trouble.

As for the dinner at Du Xiaoyue, Yang Hongzhi said that it was because a director of the Ministry of Justice retired that day. He went to pay his respects and returned to the Yunanhui after lunch time.

Yang Hongzhi said that he was very angry with the news. The photo was indeed of himself, but he thought it was a deliberate operation, and the content described was not true.

Although I considered suing, but because the writing is very skillful, it seems to be a bit difficult.

The spokesman of the Executive Yuan, Chen Zongyan, said today (7th) that in response to the media reports that Yang Hongzhi, chairman of the National Sports Security Council, was suspected of having a non-official trip during working hours, the Premier of the Executive Yuan, Chen Jianren, has instructed the Political Ethics Department of the Executive Yuan to conduct investigations as quickly as possible, and Complete the investigation report within 3 days in order to ensure the public's trust and confidence in the government.
