Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Yeh Yu-lan holds a shriveled mask during a meeting of the legislature’s Internal Administration Committee in Taipei yesterday after she used the wrong method to sterilize it. “OK, OK, I admit it, and I apologize to my junior-high school and senior-high school chemistry and physics teachers. I did not study well, but if I had I would be working at Academia Sinica, not in the legislature,” she wrote.
