care to update me? don't get information on that sort of thing here...Originally posted by laurence82:whole day taiwanese news channels broadcast the news about the protests against ah bian
seems unlike what happened to Indonesian, Philippine presidents and Thaksin, ah bian seems untouchable -
bacially the taiwanese has a president who is corrupted, siphoned off some funds, and mishandled the relationship with ChinaOriginally posted by breytonhartge:care to update me? don't get information on that sort of thing here...
the judiciary cannot get him for corruption or find out who really shot him during the presidential election 04, an event which eventually won him his second shot at presidency
so now the taiwanese are holding protests to make him step down
but seems he is recalcitrant, and unlike what happened to Gus Dur, Megawati or Thaksin, he refused to give in and he has the 'law' behind him
gee -
what's new? there will always be people like him... sad but true.Originally posted by laurence82:bacially the taiwanese has a president who is corrupted, siphoned off some funds, and mishandled the relationship with China

I don;t know, is it a good thing that an elected president can be brought down by a mass protest/rally? if this is so, what is the point of having an election?Originally posted by laurence82:bacially the taiwanese has a president who is corrupted, siphoned off some funds, and mishandled the relationship with China

but then there must be ways of censure right? especially when the elected official is corrupt. There must be accountability...Originally posted by vince69:I don;t know, is it a good thing that an elected president can be brought down by a mass protest/rally? if this is so, what is the point of having an election? -
censure in a legal sense, like that in Thailand, instead of facing him in an open election, they chose to boycott the election and forced him off the post through mass protest rallies...(if they so confident that the people want him out, they should seize the opportunity to kick him off by winning the election instead)Originally posted by breytonhartge:but then there must be ways of censure right? especially when the elected official is corrupt.

i think, afterall, elections still does not equate to democracy
many dictators in history got voted into power, think Hitler and many idiots, think George Bush, Blair, Thaksin also got voted into power
and the Taiwanese do not want to wait until 2008...especially when ah bian can do a lot of things within the next two years, like provoking China into a war... -
