It’s a statement so filled with nothing. I am a construction professional and I am not even sure what he means by that. <BR/>It’s so irritating to see people like Lai criticizing with non-specific accusations, and pretending to be experts in many fields. The “horse fart bridge” is just another example of pointing at a necessary piece of temporary work (or false work), and calling it as something ingratiating for the President. I feel sadly, that may lay people will buy in to pan-blue’s statement.<BR/>What I used to enjoy is that Nita Ing, chairwomen of Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp, made many low-key, but excellent rebuttals to unfounded accusations by pan-blue. She seems a bit worn out now, by pan-blue’s constant fire or maybe by THSRC’s problems. <BR/>What Taiwan needs now are more professional advices from experts and professional conducts by politician and media. But I am not holding my breath…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
