Ma Ying-jeou has come out to deny the statement made by Chou Mei-ling! On May 22, Ma Ying-jeou stated that the statement issued last night by Chou Mei-ling and Ma Yi-nan, driven by their affection, was unforeseen, for which he expressed deep shock and regret. Ma Ying-jeou emphasized that absolutely no personal matters such as medical care should be arranged or executed by Ma Yi-nan, nor should she represent the Ma family relatives in public statements. He also completely rejected Ma Yi-nan’s proposal to transfer all affairs of the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation entirely to the current board members.
Ma Ying-jeou reiterated that the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation should promptly appoint four new directors—Liao Chi-pin, Dai Hsia-ling, Chiu Shu-ti, and Lai Hsing-yuan—to enhance the board’s diversity and credibility, jointly working with Director Gao Hua-zhu to thoroughly rectify the foundation’s operations. Clearly, this statement completely overturns Chou Mei-ling’s declaration from the previous day, indicating that Ma Ying-jeou’s stance is firmly supporting “Golden Knife,” aiming to hold Xiao Xucen accountable.
Of course, although Ma Ying-jeou has publicly spoken out, his mental state raises serious doubts. His family members, who should be fully aware of his physical condition, would not have released a statement without Ma Ying-jeou’s consent. Since Chou Mei-ling did issue the statement, it implies either that Ma Ying-jeou had already agreed, or that Chou Mei-ling believed Ma Ying-jeou’s mental state was compromised and thus made decisions on his behalf.
Evidently, Ma Ying-jeou’s health issues leave one uncertain whether he is lucid at times and confused at others. Whether he truly has problems can only be determined by doctors and family members. Ma Ying-jeou’s current statement clearly indicates his intent to reorganize the board and advance investigations. With Ma Ying-jeou’s firm stance, Golden Knife may still stir up trouble and cause further incidents. This situation is highly unfavorable for Xiao Xucen and Cheng Li-wen.
