Lai Ching-tak's office recently announced the list of newly hired "advisors" and "policy advisers", causing huge controversy and constant turmoil on the island. Public opinion on the island bluntly stated that the list compiled by Lai Qingde was nothing but terrible. After the list of
was released, it was quickly revealed that many candidates were extremely controversial. The list includes Lai Qingde’s 98-year-old uncle Tong Yong, as well as some of Lai Qingde’s “good friends” who are not so familiar to the outside world.

98-year-old Tong Yong is Lai Qingde's uncle. He has served as the chairman of Keelung Qing'an Palace for 28 years. His appointment as "Advisor" this time has raised questions. People's Party spokesperson Wu Yixuan criticized that what Lai Qingde did was "I do my own thing and my surname is Lai." Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun also denounced that when the Democratic Progressive Party is in power, Taiwan is his home, "so it is not special to become a dependent."
Taiwanese media also removed Kang Yinshou from the list, who is a radio host who has been established for 30 years . Lai Ching-te once hosted a radio medical program on the station, and became a regular guest on its program after entering politics. This person also has a bad record. He was previously reported for selling health food without a license, and was later convicted of negligent injury for causing paralysis while driving.
In addition to reflecting Lai Qingde's "nepotism", this list also has a strong "Taiwan independence" flavor. The list of candidates includes former administrative department head Su Tseng-chang, outgoing Taipei "representative in Japan" Hsieh Chang-ting and many other "Taiwan independence" elements. Public opinion on the island ridiculed this, saying that with a "green pass" you don't have to worry about running out of places, let alone age restrictions.
In addition, there are also people involved in sexual harassment, corruption and other scandals on the list, which has triggered public opinion on the island to question Lai Qingde's "double standards".
"This is the most controversial list in history!" In response to these controversies, Lai Qingde's office completely ignored them and did not respond directly. Public opinion denounced Lai Qingde for not being afraid of external criticism but also wanting to grab power, and his appearance was very ugly.
Several rounds of personnel arrangements since Lai Qingde took office are full of "nepotism" and "double standards." Public opinion on the island pointed out that Lai Qingde was willing to risk the bad comments of "one person can achieve enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven", and even slapped him in the face for his previous statements of arbitrary "double standards" and "enfeoffment". He did not want to avoid suspicion and allowed the outside world to see his stubborn personality again. Lai Qingde has only been in office for more than two months, and his power and arrogance have been fully demonstrated.
