MOTC vows transparency in use of derailment funds
By Chen Yun and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writer
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) yesterday at a Legislative Yuan hearing said that the spending of funds raised after the Taroko Express derailment on April 2 would be completely transparent and detailed online.
Taiwan People’s Party Legislator Chiu Chen-yuan (邱臣遠) yesterday asked the ministry to clarify whether it volunteered to assist the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) with its fundraising efforts and whether this model would be applied to future transportation incidents.
The public wants to know why there has not been a detailed account of what the funds are to be used for, and why they are not solely being used to compensate the victims and the families of those who died, Chiu said.

During a public forum on the challenges international students face while searching for jobs in Taiwan, Chiu pointed out that many local employers refuse to hire foreigners due to an unfamiliarity with the visa application process. He invited a few foreign professionals to share their experiences.
