Chen asks Ma to let daughter go to US: DPP lawmaker

Tuesday, 30 June 2009 08:22 Taipei Times

Former president Chen Shui-bian has written a letter to President Ma Ying-jeou asking him to allow his daughter, Chen Hsing-yu, to leave to register for studies in the US, a legislator said yesterday.

The move came after Chen Hsing-yu broke down in front of her father while visiting the former president last week.

An ironic group to fight the CCP

Sunday, 28 June 2009 11:28 Paul Lin

A few of my friends and I have established an anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organization.

The idea was proposed by Professor Lee Hsiao-feng last year before Chinese envoy Chen Yunlin visited Taiwan. We have called it the Taiwan Youth Anti-Communist Corps. Aside from being ironic, the name captures our goal of focusing on Taiwanese youth.

The name is similar to the China Youth Anti-Communist National Salvation Corps (“China Youth Corps” for short).

Newsflash

Former president Lee Teng-hui (李登輝) was indicted yesterday on charges of embezzling state funds, becoming the second democratically elected Taiwanese president to be indicted on corruption charges.

The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office Special Investigation Panel (SIP) has accused Lee and a top aide of illegally siphoning US$7.8 million from secret diplomatic funds used by the National Security Bureau (NSB) and laundering the money during his terms in office from 1988 to 2000.

If convicted, the 88-year-old Lee could face at least 10 years in prison, although prosecutors have indicated that they may ask for more lenient sentencing due to his age.
