The president and legislator election will be started on 11th, January next year. Thus, in order to implement the clean election, the Southern District Affairs Brigade Yunlin County Service Station promoted the importance of anti-bribery in elections during the family education and regulation promotion course for new residents on 27th. It also invited the Vietnamese new resident Wu Shi-shen(吳氏深) as lecturer to combine the anti-bribery election pattern with the patchwork, promoting regulation in daily life.
Wu has been in Taiwan for more than ten years. She has not been defeated by her fate of raising rare diseased children. She has studied progressively and went to Japan to receive patchwork certificate. She founded Jie Yu Patchwork Workshop in the name of her children in 2015. She further won the New Resident Female Entrepreneur Accelerator Program Quality Award in 2018. She hopes to convey her persistence and her skills through patchwork. She guided the new residents to sew a patchwork purse and key ring that combines the meaning of anti-bribery. The new residents also make patchwork by themselves and futher understand the importance of anti-bribery in elections.
Director of Yunlin County Service Station Huang Mei-cheng(黃玟晸) emphasized that the family education and regulation promotion courses held every month at the service station which are important channels for new residents to understand the Taiwanese laws and regulations. For the election next year, new residents should understand the importance and the responsibility of reporting bribery in election. Using cash to buy votes, giving small household appliances as gifts or presenting free trip are the ways of bribery. It is expected that the new residents will be able to maintain Taiwan’s democracy together. Also, Captain of the Yunlin County Special Duty Team Zhao Zhi-cheng(趙志成) stated that NIA promote anti-bribery in elections and avoid misunderstanding of regulation. New residents should also remind family and friends that if they noticed a bribery action just call the NIA’s anti-bribery number 05-5345971 to report, working together to fight for the democracy in Taiwan.
