Saturday, 30 January 2010 08:21 Taipei Times

The Control Yuan yesterday said it arranged a meeting with President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) to talk abour Taipei City’s problem-ridden Wenshan-Neihu MRT line after both sides agreed that the meeting would take the form of a “gathering for tea” rather than a subpoena.

“To be honest, if we had disagreed, we wouldn’t have been able to meet with the president and consult with him about the decision-making process for the Wen-Hu Line,” said Control Yuan member Ger Yeong-kuang (葛永光), who is in charge of the watchdog’s probe into the MRT line.

Taiwan Referendum Alliance convener Tsay Ting-kuei (蔡丁貴) yesterday criticized the police for fining him for violating the Assembly and Parade Act (集會遊行法) when he walked around outside the Presidential Office with a donation box and some supporters on Wednesday.

Tsay went to Zhongzheng First Precinct police station on Wednesday to pay the fines he had previously received for violating the Act. Tsay had received tickets totaling more than NT$800,000 because he has been conducting a sit-in demonstration against the Assembly and Parade Act outside the Legislative Yuan since October 2008.

Saying that their right to secret voting is not properly protected, a group of Aboriginal voters yesterday staged a demonstration outside the Council of Indigenous Peoples (CIP), asking it to help negotiate for a better system.

“CIP please help out! Give us back the right to secret voting,” dozens of demonstrators mobilized by Kumu Hacio, an independent candidate for the mountain Aborigine seat on the Greater Tainan City Council shouted as they stood outside the council.
