April, not in May.</b><br /><br />The government covered up the finding until May 23rd --- after <b>Ma's 3rd-year inauguration on May 20.</b><br /><br />President Ma claimed that he didn't knew about the findings until late May. That is, around or after the inauguration date.Taiwan Echohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018124148446093746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-45449677859482732942011-06-07T12:41:54.016+08:002011-06-07T12:41:54.016+08:00Hey, keep it up, you could go to the mainland and ...Hey, keep it up, you could go to the mainland and make a second career of that.
