After another alleged sexual assault on a train, the Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) said on Friday it would prioritize the first car on 256 commuter trains that depart before 7am and after 9:30pm for women and girls. However, a senior TRA official was quick to say that the first car would not be designated “women only” because the TRA doesn’t want to discriminate against men.

While in principle, an economic agreement between the two countries would be laudable, it concerns us that there has been a lack of transparency and legislative checks and balances on the part of the government in Taiwan: Media and civic groups have complained about the secrecy of the negotiations and the fact that there is no clarity on what the agreement would entail or what impact it would have on Taiwan’s economy, in particular its agriculture sector, small and medium-size industries and the labor force.

James Freeman Clarke, a US minister and author, once said: “A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman of the next generation.” Echoing this insight is the recent debate on whether government policies should focus on immediate gain or long-term vision.

“We should establish a ‘Bridle Ma Society’ and then use those bridles to rein in President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) so that he doesn’t run to his own death. We have already spoiled one president in Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁), are we now going to spoil Ma as well?”
You might think this sounds like something an emotional pro-green supporter would say, but you would be wrong. These are the words of Chang Hsiao-feng (張曉風), a well-known author generally revered by the pan-blue camp.

In President Ma Ying-jeou’s (馬英九) recent interview with CNN reporter Christiane Amanpour, he firmly said, “We will never ask the Americans to fight for Taiwan. This is something very clear.” After Amanpour’s repeated efforts, Ma finally exposed the Achilles’ heel he had tried to hide.
