Huang Kuo-chang slams testifying engineer as 'talking nonsense,' media personality retorts: 'Innocent people aren't that loud'

Taipei: Huang Kuo-chang, chairman of Taiwan's People First Party, has filed a civil lawsuit against Mirror Weekly, seeking damages for a series of reports concerning the hacker case involving the Central Broadcasting System. Huang publicly accused engineer Wu Cheng-hsun, who testified in court, of fabricating his statements.

“

The teacher enjoys the spotlight, while the tool is always the one to take the fall. An innocent person wouldn't be so loud. We'll see you in court, why are you in such a hurry to ask for an apology at the dragon boat race?

During his court testimony, Wu Cheng-hsun was asked by the judge whether the information he collected would be leaked by Huang Kuo-chang. After a prolonged silence of nearly twenty seconds, Wu responded, "I don't know." This hesitation has been interpreted by media personality Chan Ling-yu as more telling than any direct statement.

Chan Ling-yu criticized Huang's response to Wu's testimony, suggesting that Huang was avoiding accountability. "The teacher enjoys the spotlight, while the tool is always the one to take the fall. An innocent person wouldn't be so loud," Chan stated on Facebook. She questioned Huang's urgency in seeking an apology at a dragon boat race instead of addressing the matter in court.

“

Huang Kuo-chang's SOP is playing out again. Back then, in the five-star flag case, Wu Cheng-hsun stepped forward and said, 'I am Huang Kuo-chang's person.' Huang immediately cut ties: 'He's just an ordinary citizen who came to report.'

Chan Ling-yu also drew parallels to a past case involving a "five-star flag," where Huang Kuo-chang allegedly distanced himself from Wu Cheng-hsun, referring to him as just an ordinary citizen who came to report. Chan implied that Huang's current strategy involves attacking the engineer and the media outlet rather than directly confronting the court's proceedings.

Twenty seconds of silence is louder than any testimony. And Huang Kuo-chang's response? Not to face it, but to bite back, calling the engineer a liar and the Mirror Weekly trash reporting, and shamelessly demanding an apology.
