Mayor’s Remarks:
1. Star Wars Day will be celebrated in Tainan on May 4. The Cultural Affairs Bureau is asked to evaluate the need of expanding promotional efforts. The Spring Travel Subsidy Program will start shortly in May. The Tourism and Travel Bureau should continue to take a proactive approach with promoting the program. In addition, the 2019 Tainan May Jam is also going to take place in May in Hu Tou Pei. All departments and bureaus are expected to disseminate relevant information to enable Tainan’s tourism industry to hit new heights.
2. As the temperature is warming up, Dengue fever season is arriving. Residents should “inspect the environment, and empty, brush, and clean any containers with water” every week. The Public Health Bureau and other relevant departments are asked to urge major hospitals to strengthen the promotion of Dengue prevention and be prepared in advance.
3. As the Tainan City Council is now holding its regular session, we should review our work and evaluate our performance accordingly based on the councilors’ questions and inquiries. If there is truly room for improvements, we will definitely make efforts to do better. However, if any comments or arguments contradict the facts, then we should clarify immediately. We should also seek support from the Department of Information to improve the quality of communication and be responsible to our citizens.
