Monday, 12 October 2009 08:08 Taipei Times

Former president Chen Shui-bian’s (陳水扁) son Chen Chih-chung (陳致中) said yesterday he had tried everything possible to wire the money connected to the corruption allegations leveled at his family back to Taiwan, rebutting recent comments by Swiss authorities who said no such requests have been received.

On Saturday, Folco Galli, spokesperson for the Swiss Justice Ministry, said the ministry had not received any requests from Chen Chih-chung or members of his family to wire funds the Chen family kept overseas back to Taiwan.

Taipei fed up with pun, chooses new name for Neihu line

Sunday, 11 October 2009 06:26 Taipei Times

The Taipei City Government will spend about NT$1 million (US$30,000) to change the name of the MRT Muzha-Neihu Line after an insulting twist on its name became popular.

The problem-ridden MRT line is jokingly called by the last two syllables in “Muzha” and “Neihu” because when put together, they sound like zhahu (詐胡), a term in the game of mahjong that describes an act of cheating.

Government efforts launched last month to stimulate the economy lack any clear results and GDP might still contract or grow at a rate of less than 1 percent, economists said yesterday.

National Taiwan University economics professor Kenneth Lin (林向愷) said he did not believe President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) could make good on his promise to make economic progress within the month — which would be up on Wednesday — despite a rise in exports last month and a lowering of the unemployment rate.
