Just saw this news regarding that Taiwan ministers may resign as typhoon row grows.
"The first political casualty was vice-foreign minister Andrew Hsia Li-yan, who tendered his resignation on Tuesday -- for refusing overseas aid.
Premier Liu Chao-shiuan has received their resignations and was considering them, the official said.
Lin Hou-wang, a Ma adviser and National Taiwan University philosophy professor, said the prime minister and others should also consider resigning"
Reason Being: "The cabinet secretary faced personal criticism after angrily justifying himself for dining with his family at a five-star hotel on August 8, the day Morakot struck, saying it was Father's Day in Taiwan and "not out of line".
The defense ministry has been under fire for deploying too few troops during the initial rescue operation, with only 2,100 sent on August 9 before the number was dramatically increased to 43,300 five days later. "
Seriously i think what's the use of tendering resignation letter now when the crisis is getting worsen and casualties not found. Since resignation cant makes a difference to the whole crisis so might as well attend to the matter, understand the mistake and do something about the mistake instead. This kind of behaviour is only to avoid more criticisms and responsibilies.
The main important point is to save out as many victims as possible instead isnt it?? But i do understand that people are protesting and they do that to appease the tense situation. But that's the more they should help and send resources instead resigning and losing more manpower that can contribute brain juice to the situation.
Pray hard that more victims can be saved from this disaster.
Heard that A family of eleven members only 1 survive....sigh
