after taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was detained and denied access to visitors due to the jinghua city scandal, the topic quickly became a topic of discussion on major news and political commentary programs. sheng zhiren, general manager of the cloudland tourism group, said that former taipei mayor hau lung-bin, who was criticized by ko wen-je for five major cases, recently received many invitations to talk shows, but he declined them all because hau lung-bin believed that the judiciary was already handling the case and that "ko is in a very bad situation now, and it is not fair to add insult to injury."

sheng zhiren said on facebook on the 7th that everyone who knows him knows that he has disliked ko wen-je since shortly after he entered politics because of his way of speaking, lack of policies, irresponsibility and other traits. now that ko wen-je is involved in a case that is under judicial trial and has been detained, why are there still a lot of innuendos and evidence-lacking things being spread or smeared in the media? "the scary thing is that the prosecutors cannot confirm or deny this information, which will cause great harm. i strongly oppose this part."

sheng zhiren pointed out that he said these words not for ko wen-je, but for taiwan's judiciary. the same standard should be applied to zheng wencan. anyone who has not participated in the actual trial and read the case files in full cannot grasp the overall situation. it is absolutely okay to comment, but whether you are in support or opposition, you must comment based on known facts.

he said, "when the indictment and verdict are fully presented, the public can and should carefully examine the contents. all necessary comments, debates and street protests should be fully engaged at that time. it is not allowed to wrongly accuse good people or release bad guys."

he also mentioned that he met hau lung-bin at a dinner recently and learned that many talk shows have recently invited hau lung-bin to talk about ko wen-je. "as the former mayor who was slandered by ko wen-je for five major corruption cases, this was the best opportunity to attract attention and take revenge, but hau lung-bin declined." "the reason is simple. the judiciary is already handling it, and ko is in a miserable situation now. it is not kind to kick him when he is down. it's a pity that taiwan's political arena does not appreciate or need kind people."

it is understood that in the early days of his tenure as mayor of taipei, ko wen-je focused on five major development projects, including the taipei dome, the twin towers, the songyan cultural and creative park in meihe city, and the sanchuang park, and investigated whether former mayors ma ying-jeou and hau lung-bin were involved in profiteering. however, no illegality was found in the end, and ko wen-je renamed these cases the "five major cases" and no longer used the term "corruption cases."
