Su Chiao-hui Campaign Denies Conflict of Interest Allegations

The campaign office for New Taipei City mayoral candidate Su Chiao-hui has strongly refuted allegations of conflict of interest involving her sister, Su Chiao-chun. The People First Party (PFP) had accused Su Chiao-hui of improperly benefiting from government subsidies through her sister's affiliation with Weiru Technology and its platform, akaSwap.

Responding to the PFP's claims, Su's campaign office spokesperson Ma Heng-heng Yi-jiang stated that Su Chiao-chun is not an employee of Weiru Technology and has not applied for any subsidies from the Ministry of Culture or other organizations. The office characterized the PFP's accusations as "UFO" (erroneous) revelations that have not been apologized for, followed by further slander, questioning the PFP's credibility.

Ma Heng-heng Yi-jiang further clarified that the PFP had previously confused projects commissioned by the Taitung County Government under the KMT administration with subsidies for technological art creation from the Ministry of Culture. They also mistakenly identified akaSwap and Weiru Company as the same entity. The campaign office reiterated that Su Chiao-hui has never been involved in any bidding processes, and Su Chiao-chun has not applied for any subsidies.

The campaign office challenged the PFP to file a lawsuit if they possess evidence of illegal activity, drawing a parallel to a case involving the KMT candidate Li Chuan's brother who admitted guilt in court. They contrasted this with the PFP's continuous press conferences without presenting concrete evidence of wrongdoing. The office emphasized that Su Chiao-hui's team will maintain a positive campaign focus, aiming to present her as a candidate with modern ideas and creativity for New Taipei City.
