FINAL REGIONAL PENSION REFORM HEARING IN TAITUNG|年改東區座談 林萬億被批汙名化軍公教

The public hearing on pension reform took place in Taitung on January 14. Thousands of people rallied outside the venue to protest against the reform procedure. Many representatives said civil servants have been stigmatized and demanded an apology. A protestor crossed the barricade trying to make her way into the Taitung Art and Culture Center where a public hearing on the pension reform was held. She was immediately taken away by the police. Thousands of protestors gathered outside the venue while the police guarded the entrance to avoid more conflicts. At the last public hearing on the pension reform, many representatives criticized National Pension Reform Committee Executive Director Lin Wan-I of stigmatizing the civil servants. ==LEE LAI-HSI National Civil Servant Association Director == The Vice President had every intention to communicate with us, but the executive director was out there saying that we have higher income but pay less tax. Is that what you call communication? ==WEN CHUN-HUA Hualien County Government Secretary== Lin said that saying that civil servants have higher income but pay less tax is not stigmatization. He owes all civil servants an apology. Some questioned that the committee's actuarial report and income replacement ratio were problematic and demanded adjustments. Others pointed out that civil servants were not the reason why the pension fund failed to perform. ==CHANG MEI-YING, National Retired Teachers Alliance == It is unacceptable to use such a lame excuse to cover up the fact that the pension fund was not performing. ==LI YEN-HSI MCFAP Honorary Chair== If the government is to cancel the 18% scheme, they should give us our pension in one lump sum. The national affairs conference on the pension reform will be held next week where the opinions collected in the four public hearings will be presented. The competent authorities will then propose a draft to the Legislative Yuan.
