CKS Memorial Hall 結果共3筆

The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Management Office has announced a comprehensive smoking ban and the elimination of designated smoking areas in order to maintain the integrity of the park’s recreational environment. This decision comes after Taiwanese entertainer Tai Chih-yuan criticized the memorial’s park administration for cutting down trees to establish a smoking zone, which he deemed harmful to the environment. However, the office clarified that the smoking area was established in 2009 and had no connection to the removal of the trees, which were infested with brown root rot disease. The decision to cut down the trees was made to ensure public safety and prevent the spread of the disease to other trees in the area, according to a statement from the office. Once the condition of the trees was confirmed by the Ministry of Agriculture’s Forestry Research Institute, the office promptly provided public notice and carried out necessary operations.

Premier Chen Chien-jen on Monday (Sept. 11) dismissed claims that the ruling government plans to demolish the Chiang Kai-shek (CKS) Memorial Hall by May 2024, as President Tsai Ing-wen will end her second and final term by then.

Since taking office, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen has made transitional justice a top priority.
