According to data from the earthquake measurement and reporting center of the Taiwan Meteorological Department, when a magnitude 6.9 earthquake occurred in Hualien County, the maximum quake in Taoyuan area was magnitude 3. This incident has aroused doubts from netizens on the island. Some people said, "Taoyuan is only level 3, is there no corruption case cut corners?" Some people mocked the stadium as a "scramble project."
In addition, Taiwan’s senior media person Huang Yangming dug up the inside story of the project on Facebook, which triggered further discussion.
Huang Yangming said that the Bade Sports Center project was decided on January 16, 2018. The project includes three major buildings (Bide Sports Center, Dashu Fire Fleet, Citizens Activity Center and Public Rizhao Center). At that time, Taoyuan Municipal Government collectively referred to the project as the "Northern Jingyun Plan". The total funding of the three major building projects was NT$1.25 billion (about NT$280 million), which cost about NT$200 million more than the bid amount.
htmlOn the evening of 18th, Zheng Wencan, a mayor of Taoyuan, a DPP, apologized on Facebook that he rushed to the scene after the incident. In addition to condolences to the people, he had instructed the Taoyuan Municipal Sports Bureau and the Works Bureau to inspect whether the decoration project of the Bade Sports Center is reliable and whether the structure is safe, and asked professionals to identify the cause of the incident and complete the restoration work.Zheng Wencan said that this incident caused panic among Taoyuan citizens who used the sports center, and he had no choice but to pay attention.
Then green camp supporters said that the responsibility should be taken by a social movement agency responsible for the light renovation project on the 5th floor (the organization has a blue political color). Ge Yongguang, the head of the agency, responded that "How could such a big thing fall from the ceiling be a problem of lamp renovation?" He believed that the problem lies in the construction of the project, and the Taoyuan Municipal Government is responsible for supervising the construction of the project. Ge Yongguang also said that if the appraisal results show that the ceiling collapse was caused by the renovation of the lamp, the agency is willing to take responsibility.
Taoyuan Municipal Sports Bureau said that the Bade Sports Center was contracted by the New Construction Engineering Office of the Taoyuan Municipal Government, costing NT$500 million (about NT$110 million) and was officially launched on October 12 last year. The 5th floor lighting renovation project was contracted by the social sports agency responsible for operation and management, but the appraisal has not been completed yet. It is impossible to determine which project problem caused the sound insulation board to fall. The lack of reinforcement of the venue project will be completed by the New Construction Engineering Office of the Taoyuan Municipal Government as soon as possible.
Regarding some people's belief that "ceilings and chandeliers do not need to be shock-resistant", KMT Taoyuan City Councilman Zhan Jiangcun said: "All decorations and chandeliers , or chandeliers must meet the considerable shock-resistantness, especially in public places."
KMT Tao candidate Tao revealed that the "North Jingyun Plan" with a total investment of NT$1.25 billion was designed by the same group of builders and engineering consultants. He called on the Taoyuan Municipal Government to immediately stop using relevant venues and conduct comprehensive inspections to ensure the safety of Taoyuan citizens.
