Minister without Portfolio Lin Wan-i (林萬億), who is the deputy convener and executive director of the committee, said a pension reform meeting next week would discuss possible reforms to the civil servants’ pension system. The Ministry of Civil Service will present a report on the insurance and pension system of civil servants at the meeting, Lin said. The DGBAS and the ministry briefed a meeting of the National Pension Reform Committee on Thursday regarding the nation’s financial status. Military personnel, civil servants and teachers’ representatives at the meeting said blame over financial arrears was misplaced. Lee said that the idea of “unfunded liability” the DGBAS raised has been repeatedly quoted and has since stigmatized the group.
