Cut-off Date Extended for Hakka Travel Voucher|客庄券登記續卡 客委會:截止日延後2天

The Hakka Affairs Council online system crashed once again on the second day of registering for the Hakka Village Travel Voucher raising complaints.


People are still having a hard time logging into the official Line account for the Hakka Village Travel Voucher on the second day of its registration. The Hakka Affairs Council (HAC) is raffling off limited free "Hakka village travel vouchers" valued at NT$800 but system has crashed for two days in a row. On 8:26 am, the Line account for the Hakka Village Travel Voucher asked people not to log in temporarily and that the system is expected to be back to normal before 9 am. However, at 8:55 am, the system still could not handle the large influx of log-ins and issued another announcement, asking the public to resume the process after the system testing is complete.

I was watching while my daughter tried to log in the system. (What happened when she couldn't log in?) All we can do is give up. (Do you think the Hakka Affairs Council was prepared for this?) Do you think they were ready?

The Council should reflect on this incident. I have only logged in successfully once. None of my family members were able to log in. I'll just do it later.

The Changhua County Government was also unsatisfied with the HAC. The Puxin Township Office at Changhua County has recently restored the old Nanchang Hall to be used in promoting the Hok Lo-kheh culture. However, the cultural zone was not covered by the Hakka Village Travel Voucher, which the Puxin Township Mayor and the Changhua County Government deemed as unfair.

There are a lot of Hakka-related scenic areas in Puxin Township. We were hoping that the Hakka Affairs Council would help to revitalize the economy of our remote townships by granting more subsidies. Actually, it's not really that remote, it's just that these townships are lacking resources.

Hok Lo-kheh is used to refer to Hakka people who were assimilated by people who came from the Fujian Province. Under the Hakka Affairs Council's regulation, the Hakka Village Travel Voucher can only be used in areas with one-third of its population belonging to the Hakka. Nevertheless, Changhua residents still feel neglected. In response to the crashing of the system, the HAC said the cut-off date for registration will be extended for two days to midnight on July 28.



客庄旅遊券開放民眾登記第二天，LINE平台還是「卡關」，點選「登錄」後，過了十多秒才有動靜，結果出現的是錯誤頁面。客委會推出價值800元的限量客庄券，連續兩天都在一早當機，客庄券的LINE帳號先在上午8點26分公告，請大家暫時不要登錄，預計9點前，才會恢復，結果時間來到8點55分，眼看還沒辦法解決登錄人數爆量的問題，再發出公告、拿掉「預計9點」的字眼，請民眾等系統測試完畢，再來登錄。

民眾表示：「我女兒試(登記)，我在旁邊觀賞。（妳女兒試不進去，怎麼辦？) 怎麼辦？就不要啊！（會覺得說，客委會怎麼沒做好準備嗎？) 妳覺得他們有做好準備過嗎？」

民眾表示：「可能要檢討一下，只一次成功，其他(家人)都沒成功，我就晚一點再弄就好。」

而對客委會表達不滿的，還有彰化縣。為了找回客家根源和記憶，彰化縣埔心鄉公所，近年才向客委會爭取經費，修復當地老厝"南昌堂"，要做為推廣「福佬客」文化的場所，但在這波客庄券的適用店家，彰化縣「掛零」，埔心鄉長和彰化縣府都大喊不公平。

彰化埔心鄉長 張乘瑜表示：「因為我們埔心鄉，營造這麼多客家的景點，我們其實很熱切希望客委會，能夠振興我們偏鄉，也不算偏鄉，算是比較資源貧乏的鄉鎮，能夠挹注更多的補助經費。」

「福佬客」指的是被來自福建省的人同化的客家人，儘管客委會規定，客庄券的適用縣市，客家人口必須超過3分之一才行，但彰化人還是認為被振興活動給邊緣化。至於客庄券當機的部分，客委會回應，原本預計26號截止登記，決定會延長兩天、到28號下週二晚間12點截止，來彌補民眾的不便。
