Minor Cabinet reshuffle in the worksEXECUTIVE YUAN: Kung Ming-hsin will reportedly take over the National Development Council, and the ministers of national defense and the interior will retain their postsBy Sean Lin / Staff reporterPresident Tsai Ing-wen’s (蔡英文) second term would start with a minor Cabinet reshuffle, with National Development Council Minister Chen Mei-ling (陳美伶), Minister of Culture Cheng Li-chiun (鄭麗君) and Minister of Science and Technology Chen Liang-gee (陳良基) leaving, a source with knowledge of the matter said yesterday. The three ministers have accomplished the missions they were assigned, and the reshuffle would not interrupt efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 or the government’s operations, the source said. Chen Liang-gee plans to return to teaching at National Taiwan University, where he used to be a chair professor, they said. She said she was also proud of helping introducing the concept of “cultural governance” to the nation’s political culture. Minister of National Defense Yen De-fa (嚴德發) and Minister of the Interior Hsu Kuo-yung (徐國勇) are staying on, despite recent controversies, the source said.
