On Tuesday, Hsinchu City Government officials inspected the plot at the city’s Lungen Section No. They said they would investigate to determine whether the property obtained proper permission to be paved and used as parking lot. A Hsinchu City Government official takes pictures at a tour bus parking lot on farmland co-owned by Taiwan People’s Party Chairman and presidential candidate Ko Wen-je on Tuesday. Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) members and others also visited the site to see if work had started to remove the parking lot. DPP spokesman Chang Chih-hao (張志豪) said that Ko contravened regulations by making money leasing the parking lot, and possibly profiting if the land is later rezoned.
