Former Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou's popularity has not declined but increased after leaving office, and has been repeatedly entrusted to participate in the 2020 Taiwan leadership election.
In November 2018, a few days before the "nine-in-one" election, Taiwanese people mentioned this matter. The "standard answer" given by Ma Ying-jeou at that time was "thank you for your concern", and he didn't say anything.
In December 2018, a few days after the "nine-in-one" election, some people asked again. Ma Ying-jeou's response was "I want to think about it carefully", leaving a suspense...
On December 20, 2018, Ma Ying-jeou held a new book release meeting on "Eight Years of Governance Memoirs" to reflect on the gains and losses and faults of "ruling" for eight years. In addition, he had already established the "Ma Ying-jeou Foundation" with the support of Taiwan's Hon Hai Chairman , Terry Gou , with the capital injection of Taiwan; he also shook hands with Wang Jinping, the former head of Taiwan's legislative body, in some public occasions, "to clear the grudges when we meet each other"; at the same time, he wandered around various cities in Taiwan, and said, "thinking of the mainland to take a look"... All of this makes people feel that he is really planning to choose a leader in Taiwan again.
It’s a pity that when Ma Ying-jeou was in office, he was regarded as not a “government talent”, and the hostile camp has always labeled “incompetent” on him. Now that he has been resigning for almost three years, has the situation improved? If he runs for election again, his "embarrassing and bad things" during his tenure will inevitably be proposed and magnified by the DPP camp.
In 2012, when Ma Ying-jeou was elected as his first Taiwan leader, he often said, "Who dares to be wrong with his son because he is righteous?" If the superiors are not upright, they will lose their position. However, "politics" also includes the art of governing affairs and governing people. It is not only possible to govern things with the right mind and right mind.
During Ma Ying-jeou's tenure, his personal reputation and the Kuomintang plummeted, not only because of the failure of a number of financial policies, but also the emergence of corruption incidents by the Kuomintang.
In 2010, Lin Yishi served as the Democratic Agency and the CEO of the Kuomintang Policy Association, assisting Chen Qixiang, the head of Diyong Company, to obtain the contract, and later received NT$863 million. After Lin Yishi stepped down as a civilian, he called Chen Qixiang and asked Chen Qixiang to pay another NT$83 million to negotiate a contract renewal. Chen Qixiang refused and revealed to the media that the backstage prosecutors prosecuted Lin Yishi for corruption and other crimes.
In 2014, Ma Ying-jeou's important aide and then Taipei City Councilman Lai Suru was sentenced to 10 years for taking bribes and soliciting bribes in the "Temini Star Crack Case";
, then Nantou County Mayor Li Chaoqing, was accused of using wind disaster road repair projects to collect NT$9.46 million in kickbacks from the contractor between 2005 and 2012. Taiwan’s “High Court” determined that he betrayed the entrusted and expected of the county people, and corrupted the official admonitions, and that’s why… After the corruption case of
, the then , the then mayor of Taichung , Hu Zhiqiang was asked why Ma Ying-jeou could not cure the corruption of his subordinates? Hu Zhiqiang used one sentence to describe it: "They are bullying good people."
As the leader of Taiwan, being a good person is not enough, and one needs to be a good person. In government affairs management, we need to be more decisive and rigorous in the military, otherwise it will of course be regarded as "incompetent and bullied".
Although Ma Ying-jeou still has many lawsuits, most pan-blue supporters do not regard him as a "bad person", and those who like him still like him. To be honest, if he comes out to elect a leader in Taiwan again, according to Taiwan's current laws and regulations, no one can stop him. According to the "democratic spirit" advocated by the Tsai administration, Ma Ying-jeou naturally has the right to run again.
However, in recent years, has Ma Ying-jeou developed political governance capabilities from reflection on past experience? Can unite and lead an administrative team of people who are not greedy for power and money after taking office, and are sincerely willing to serve and contribute to the Taiwanese people? Otherwise, would it be better to support the Kuomintang candidates with his personal high popularity and teach his experiences and lessons when he was a leader of Taiwan to the next Blue Camp elector?
