Former National Palace Museum director resigns from Beijing post / 接任新職引爭議 馮明珠向北京故宮請辭　　　　　　　　　　

Former National Palace Museum director Feng Ming-chu yesterday said she had resigned from her advisory post in the Beijing Palace Museum Research Institute, or the BPMRI. ==FENG MING-CHU Former director of National Palace Museum== Since this has unleashed much social turmoil, including some inconvenience to myself. Therefore, as of today, Oct. 3, I have resigned from the post as an consultant of the Beijing Palace Museum Research Institute. Feng's job at the BPMRI was controversial because some legislators and experts said the historical relics and confidential documents preserved by the National Palace Museum, or the NPM are "national secrets." Some have questioned whether Feng deliberated shortened the required 3 years that former NPM officials have to wait before taking up positions in China to 3 months. As she did that just before stepping down in May, many are asking if she made the change just so that she could go on to work in Beijing. Feng denied such speculation, saying: "There is no such thing."
