According to Taiwan media reports on October 15, in response to the "city in the city" fire in Kaohsiung City, Ko Wen-je pointed out on Facebook tonight that he would make up for loopholes in the regulations and not delay any further. He also called on the DPP authorities to amend the law as soon as possible, and must compulsory building management committees must be established to give county and municipal governments the tools to implement, make up for loopholes in the laws and regulations, and fundamentally solve the problems. He said, don't just apologize, declare reforms, donate money every time something happens, and then leave it alone.

Ke Wenzhe said that there are many dangerous old buildings in Taiwan. According to the current regulations of the Ministry of the Interior, the office of the police shall apply for collective residential buildings above 16 floors. Taipei City has stipulated that collective residential buildings above 11 floors must be declared for compulsory. In order to further maintain public safety, Taipei City also discussed last year that all residential buildings above 8 floors must be declared by the public security. We have set up a two-year publicity period and searched for opinions on the handling briefing. It is expected that the law amendment announcement will begin in 2023.

Ke Wenzhe pointed out that since he took office in 2016, Taipei City held briefings every year to guide the establishment of a management committee of the apartment building 84 years ago. In addition to simplifying the process to assist, it also provides subsidies for fire fighting and firefighting and escape and refuge equipment repairs to drive residents' wishes. Since the start of the plan, the results have been the highest in the "Six Capitals".

Ke said that since 2017, Taipei City has also set up a special task force, requiring all owners of illegal buildings to install residential alarms, and to leave more than a certain area of ​​shelter space to maintain public safety. These actions are often considered disturbing the public, and many citizens do not understand them, but public safety cannot compromise.
