The Ministry of the Interior's National Conscription Agency was caught in a dispute over substitute work for military service, as working in the Hailung dumpling chain restaurant had apparently been mentioned by the MOI Deputy Minister Hua Ching-chun. Hua said that this year was the first year of the pilot scheme and no-one had in fact chosen to serve in the dumpling shop as part of integrated military service. Ruling party legislators urged that substitutes for military service should only be undertaken in the military itself or in other public services. The Ministry of the Interior's National Conscription Agency's scheme to allow draftees to serve by working in a dumpling chain restaurant or in convenience stores was widely mocked by the public. Even ruling party legislators could not take it seriously and held a media conference to criticise the idea. ==CHUANG JUI-HSIUNG DPP Legislator== If someone asks you, where did you do your military service and you say, in the Hailung, people would think, oh, it must be the marines or something, but no, it was actually in the Hailung dumpling shop. Like before, if you said you did military service in the black cats, it was actually flying a helicopter, not the door to door delivery service. ==LUO CHIH-CHEN DPP Legislator== The National Conscription Agency said we hope they can get professional training in the military, so that middle management graduates can stay in companies and work there. How is middle management the responsibility of the NCA? That is not the responsibility of the MOI and certainly not of the NCA, they have completely mistaken what their actual responsibilities are. Legislators feel that the NCA should focus on the fact that no-one wants to enter the military or do substitute military service. They hope that the MOI re-consider that substitute military service should only take place in the military or in public bodies. Facing so much criticism, MOI Deputy Minister Hua said this was just the first year of the pilot scheme and they would hold in-depth discussions. ==HUA CHING-CHUN MOI Deputy Minister== Working in the dumpling restaurant would be the final result of integration of types of substitute military service, actually, there are no military conscripts working in the Hailung dumpling shop. People need to understand this. We need to grasp more detailed, specific, internal policy before we discuss this, and of course make adjustments. We will definitely act as one with the MOI. Hua did not say when these discussions with the MOI may take place. He said that both commerce and society wanted substitute military service in industry and it came out of research into the issue. It was a good government policy that was related to youth employment, so there should not be too many problems.
