Legislator Wang Shijian of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said during an interview at the Legislative Yuan today that if his statement was wrong, he would have been criticized to this extent. Why aren't there any other important matters in Taiwan? Because of this one sentence being wrong, has it caused a split? This is very strange. The DPP is magnanimous and inclusive of various different voices, which is why Taiwan has made progress. We need to broaden our minds and attitudes to grow Taiwan. This is the true "Taiwan patriots."
Wang Shijian mentioned that before, Gao Jin Su Mei served many indigenous people in Taiwan. When he was young, he ran a small iron factory, and all 30 or so employees were from the indigenous communities. Over the past two decades, when employees encountered many hardships, they would seek help from the "legislative councilors" of the indigenous people. He heard most about Gao Jin Su Mei. Wang emphasized that what he heard was that Gao Jin Su Mei had such good reputation. What's wrong with that?
Wang Shijian believes that if Gao Jin Su Mei is involved in any other improper or illegal cases, it should be investigated by the judiciary. But the judiciary is the judiciary, and identity is identity. In our Taiwan, no one must apologize for their identity. Everyone in Taiwan can live with dignity because we are a community of shared destiny. Although everyone's ideas may not be 100% the same, the basic thing is that we all love Taiwan together. Don't question others' positions.
Wang Shijian reiterated that whether Gao Jin Su Mei is involved in any other improper or illegal cases should be investigated by the judiciary. The parties concerned must bravely face it.
