Mayor's sister praises his hard work but laments his poor self-promotion skills

Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che's sister, media personality Huang Chih-hsien, has publicly praised her brother's efforts in office while also highlighting his significant shortcomings in self-promotion. In a social media exchange, Huang Chih-hsien confirmed her brother's achievements, which include promoting Tainan's agricultural products abroad and addressing land issues for major tech companies. She also pointed to major infrastructure projects like the Tainan Museum of Art, the Asia-Pacific Baseball Stadium, and the railway undergrounding.

The money for marketing should be spent on marketing Tainan, not the mayor.

However, Huang Chih-hsien was candid about her brother's weaknesses. She revealed that when she asked him why he didn't use public funds for self-promotion like other politicians, he responded, "The money for marketing should be spent on marketing Tainan, not the mayor." She also shared that Huang Wei-che travels in economy or budget airlines when abroad for official duties, believing that saving public funds is paramount and that every penny should benefit the people, not his personal comfort.

He really works very hard.

Despite acknowledging that her brother has made policy mistakes and hired the wrong people, Huang Chih-hsien emphasized his genuine hard work. She noted that while Tainan's various events are advertised, Huang Wei-che himself is rarely mentioned. She described his self-promotion as "extremely poor," a sentiment echoed by some netizens who identify as Tainan residents. The mayor's low-profile approach to public relations is seen as a significant drawback, even as his sister defends his dedication and commitment to the city.
