Ministry finalizing plans for Taroko Express fund
DELICATE HISTORY: Citing the handling of a fund for donations after the 2014 Kaohsiung gas explosion, a legislator called for rules regulating such enterprises

A plan to distribute public donations for the victims of the Taroko Express No. 408 train derailment is to be finalized next week, Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) said yesterday.
The ministry would also within three months propose changes to regulations on government-led donation campaigns for major accidents to set better standards for the process, he said.
Chen made the remarks at the Legislative Yuan while reporting on the management of a special disaster relief account to accept donations for the “0402 Taroko Express Accident Case,” set up by the ministry on April 3, the day after the derailment.
