KMT urges court to dismiss lawsuit against ex-President MaTAIPEI, Taiwan -- Kuomintang (KMT) Central Policy Committee Director Alex Tsai urged the Taipei District Court on Tuesday to reject a lawsuit filed by Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) caucus whip Ker Chien-ming against former President Ma Ying-jeou. The Taipei District Court has summoned former President Ma Ying-jeou to appear in court this afternoon. Tsai accused Ker of squandering judicial resources and engaging in political humiliation of Ma by filing the suit. Today's review court session will be held in public and assess the lawsuit to decide whether to process the case for trial. He also urged supporters of Ma to gather outside the Taipei District Court, saying there were pan-green supporters who would show up to rail against the former president.
