Several recent cases that began with stalking have led to death or injury because they were not handled properly, the foundation said in a statement. From left, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) legislators Yang Chiung-ying, Cheng Li-wun, Lin Szu-ming and Yeh Yu-lan hold a news conference yesterday at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei to call for the enactment of an anti-stalking bill. Having a law that clearly defines stalking behavior and establishes standard operating procedures could help resolve those doubts, it said. Separately, the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) legislative caucus also called for the enactment of an anti-stalking bill as soon as possible, adding that the Executive Yuan should propose its own version of the bill to be reviewed by the Legislative Yuan. Lawmakers have proposed 15 versions of an anti-stalking bill, KMT Legislator Lin Szu-ming (林思銘) said, urging the Executive Yuan to quickly submit its own version for review by the legislature’s Internal Administration Committee.
