China Taiwan Network reported on June 3 that on the 2nd, heavy rains hit Northern Taiwan, causing serious disasters. However, on the 2nd, Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen and Taiwan's "Premier" Lin Quan seemed to be busy with their own itineraries and did not go to the disaster area in time. Until the 3rd, Tsai Ing-wen posted on Facebook that she was "making every effort to prevent and relieve disasters" and that Lin Quan went to Keelung to investigate the disaster. This slow move caused dissatisfaction among the public, and criticized the Tsai Ing-wen administration for "quick step down and take responsibility."
According to Taiwan media reports, as of 5 pm on the 2nd, a heavy rain disaster caused a total of 1 person to die, 2 missing, 15 trapped and 5 injured; a total of 1,133 disasters occurred, mainly road trees, roads, flooding and soil and rock disasters.
On the 2nd of the severe disaster, Tsai Ing-wen was running her own itinerary and endorsed the "foresight plan" until the afternoon when she went to the "Disaster Response Center" to understand the disaster situation. On the 3rd, Tsai Ing-wen was still "invisible" and did not disclose her itinerary. She only posted photos of the Taiwan military returning to the disaster on Facebook, saying, "Where the disaster is, the Taiwan military will go wherever the disaster is." The Taiwan authorities and all counties and cities are paying close attention to the disaster situation, devoted their efforts to prevent and rescue disasters, and reminding the public to pay attention to safety in and out.
To Tsai Ing-wen’s “good intention” reminder, the public criticized “It’s been a day since the rain fell, and you are just calling for all your strength now. After the rain recedes, you are calling for all your strength?”, “Get off the stage and take responsibility now”, “Leader on Facebook, talk on paper.” Some netizens even mocked "The latest model of disaster detection rain boots this year is still on the way to air transport..." and "Facebook is the limit of Tsai Ing-wen's governance of Taiwan, don't force it anymore."
Compared with Tsai Ing-wen's "shen Yin", Lin Quan went to Keelung to investigate the disaster at 10 a.m. on the 3rd. He said that Keelung Mayor Lin Youchang that the initial estimate would cost NT$400 million to rebuild. Lin Quan said that disasters will be assisted with special projects.
However, the people were obviously dissatisfied with Lin Quan's "hindsight" disaster detection. Lin Quan was scolded by the people when he got off the car in the morning, and some people even raised cloth strips to protest.
Tsai Ing-wen's government officials failed to detect disasters and aroused the dissatisfaction of the public. Another "Minister of Transportation" Cong Chen Dan. Taiwan's United Daily News reported on the 3rd that " Suhua Highway was affected by the disaster. The 'Minister of Transportation' finally came to investigate the disaster today." It is reported that Taiwan's Suhua Highway (the eastern coastal highway from Suao to Hualien) has been closed due to falling rocks on May 28 and traffic control has been 7 days since it was closed due to falling rocks. When there was a traffic jam on the island on the 28th, the Tsai Ing-wen authorities' "Train Minister" He Chen Dan played "Shen Yin" in the face of criticism from all walks of life.
:00 to 3rd, He Chendan finally appeared in person to inspect Suhua Highway and listened to the briefing, but he strongly denied the question of "Shen Yin" in the outside world and explained that it was necessary to repair the engineering personnel at the first time. Netizens seem to be unable to complain about this explanation, and can only say helplessly, "This is the best 'Minister of Transportation' in official career." (China Taiwan Network Zhu Lian)
