Monday, 21 February 2011 09:54 Taipei Times

Representatives of former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) said it was “too early” to begin assessing his historical legacy, as government officials said they were unsure how to proceed with an official account of his presidency.

The Chinese-language United Daily News reported yesterday that Academia Historica officials have deviated from past practice by not writing an historical account of Chen’s eight-year administration.

Worried that a demolition squad may appear any time to flatten the homes of four families in Dapu (大埔), Miaoli County, rights activists and students organized patrols and discussed defense strategies on Sunday night, while politicians worked to mobilize support for the forced demolition.

Tensions were high at the normally tranquil farming village yesterday, the first working day after the deadline set by the county government for the four families to demolish their own houses on Friday last week.
