Wang Jin-pyng backs beef amendment

Thursday, 05 November 2009 07:16 Taipei Times

Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平) yesterday supported banning “risky” beef products to override a protocol recently signed with the US.

Saying that legislators across party lines had agreed to amend the Act Governing Food Sanitation (食品衛生管理法) and ban beef products that may be “health-threatening,” Wang said the amendment, once passed, would trump the protocol.

The MRT’s Wenshan-Neihu Line experienced two more breakdowns yesterday — in the morning and the evening — related to power interruptions in the tunnel between the Dazhi and Songshan Airport stations.

The operation center first cut power in the tunnel at 10:21am after detecting an abnormal signal, suspending service between Zhongshan Junior High School and Jiannan stations until 12:18pm, the Taipei Rapid Transit System Corp (TRTC) said.

The two tumors that had been detected in former president Chen Shui-bian’s (陳水扁) seminal vesicle earlier this year are nonmalignant blood clots, doctors said yesterday after Chen underwent a follow-up medical checkup, adding that they were trying to determine why a third clot had formed.

Chen was granted temporary release from prison so he could get a medical checkup at Chang Gung Hospital’s branch in Linkou District (林口), New Taipei City (新北市), yesterday morning. He was transported from Taipei Prison to the hospital at about 6am.
