Tuesday, 22 March 2011 07:55 Taipei Times

A majority of Taiwanese are unhappy with President Ma Ying-jeou’s (馬英九) performance in office, with both his popularity and public trust levels dropping this month, a poll by the Chinese-language Global Views magazine showed yesterday.

The poll, conducted on last Monday and Tuesday, showed that 52 percent of respondents were unhappy with Ma’s overall performance, compared with 35 percent who said they were satisfied. This represented a 3 percent drop in satisfaction with Ma and a 0.7 percent increase in dissatisfaction with his performance.

Lee calls for Constitution to be scrapped

Tuesday, 22 March 2011 07:51 Taipei Times

Former president Lee Teng-hui (李登輝) yesterday said Taiwan should replace the Republic of China (ROC) Constitution with a new constitution that reflects modern realities.

Lee said the ROC Constitution, enacted in China in 1947, is not suitable for Taiwan and should be replaced by a Taiwan basic law and that ultimately a new constitution should be enacted.

Lee made the remarks during an event organized by Taiwan Advocates in Taipei with four academics who were representatives of a student movement in 1991 known as the Wild Lilies (野百合學運).

Despite drizzling weather, more than 1,000 demonstrators rallied on Jinan Road outside the Legislative Yuan in Taipei last night to support calls for reforms to the nation’s electoral policies, while also expressing their dissatisfaction toward what they say is the government’s failure to respond to demands made during the Sunflower movement.

Entitled “Blasting Jinan Road with Roars of Anger” (怒吼炸濟南) to signify participants’ outrage, the rally was launched by a coalition of civic groups, including many youth political movements that bloomed after the Sunflower movement.
