Photo: Lo Pei-de, Taipei TimesTPP caucus director-general Jang Chyi-lu (張其祿) told a news conference in Taipei yesterday that national fire regulations are insufficient to keep people safe. The TPP caucus supports amending the act through public-private collaboration to bolster fire prevention management, improve safety standards, encourage public reporting and increase penalties, he said. Meanwhile, a separate firefighting equipment bill has languished in procedural process for 24 years, TPP caucus deputy convener Lai Hsiang-ling (賴香伶) said. A stalemate has formed on their intended roles, and the two main parties have yet to reach a consensus, she added.
