Anti-Chen Shui-bian Campaign


The `Nelson Mandela of Taiwan', Shih Ming-teh, launched anti-Chen Shui-bian campaign last Saturday.

In May 2006, a series of scandals regarding first family were discovered. A-Bian ‘s son-in-law and son-in-law's family were alleged to be involved in illegal share-transfers. His wife was accused of accepting huge amounts of gift certificates from a department store(SOGO) in exchange for government assistance in restructuring the store's business leadership. His aides were also alleged to be involved in major corrupt acts.

Shih's campaign last Saturday called on a million people in Taiwan to each make a donation of NT$100(US$3)to a bank account to fund the anti-Chen Shui-bian campaign. The money will be used to pay for food and drinks and cleaning at the proposed sit-in site.
