wu dunyi, former chairman of the kuomintang, has been out of politics for a long time, but he was provoked by rumors to come out and reminisce about the past. looking back at how he was involved in the plot ratio controversy as the former mayor of kaohsiung, it can be found that the kaohsiung city government and the "wecare kaohsiung" group to recall han have successively named wu dunyi, saying that he was the one who approved the plot ratio, but wu had already resigned at the end of 1998. public opinion on the island believes that in the face of external doubts, the kaohsiung city government did not resolve the doubts, but instead dragged wu dunyi, who had resigned as mayor for 26 years, out, which may damage chen qimai's image as a warm man who is in harmony with the people.

in reviewing the two recent plot ratio issues in kaohsiung, wecare kaohsiung was the first to name wu dunyi on facebook on august 31, writing, "the original plot ratios of the 'ambassador' hotel and farglory the one were regulated in 1993, when the then mayor of kaohsiung was wu dunyi." later, the kaohsiung city government also named on september 3 that the building permit was issued during wu dunyi's term, and the occupancy permit was issued during mayor han kuo-yu's term.

insiders pointed out that after wu dunyi left office, the green party controlled kaohsiung for 20 years until han kuo-yu was elected. if there was really a problem with the plot ratio at that time, did the green party deliberately turn a deaf ear to it for 20 years in power? moreover, the 1142% plot ratio of the "ambassador hotel" that is now questioned by the outside world only appeared after it obtained the volume bonus for the reconstruction of dangerous and old buildings in 2022. it is too far-fetched to link it to wu dunyi.

the same goes for farglory the one. the consequence of the kaohsiung city government's insistence is that it has been questioned whether it did not strictly review the building permit. the building permit was obtained in 1993, but its completion was delayed until the end of 2019.

public opinion on the island believes that the kaohsiung city government and its allies want to find a scapegoat, and the biggest victim may become chen chi-mai. seeing that the storm has not yet subsided, chen had to announce on the 6th that the kaohsiung "ambassador hotel" will ask a third party to re-evaluate its dangerousness and old age. the media called this "chen chi-mai's change of attitude."

since his re-election, chen chi-mai has cultivated the image of a warm-hearted mayor and hosted many international superstar concerts, bringing business opportunities and vitality to kaohsiung. even when facing the democratic progressive party's multiple candidates for the next mayor of kaohsiung, chen chi-mai would rather stay out of the fray and express a neutral attitude, just because he does not want to get too involved in politics.

today, the kaohsiung city government's public works bureau is trying to treat the volume case as a "political matter" and is manipulating the internet. it is fearful that it may not only fail to divert attention but also cause the mayor's "warm man" image to collapse.
