Mayor’s remark:
1. Yesterday (22nd) Officers Tu Ming-Cheng and Cao Ruei-Jie were killed in the line of duty. They fought for Tainan's safety to the very last minute, and their deaths have brought about shock and disbelief among the public. I have great respect for the Tainan City Police Department, which found and arrested the perpetrator within 24 hours of the incident, restoring Tainan’s safety. Precinct 2, Precinct 3, the Criminal Investigation Corps, Kaohsiung City Police Department, Hsinchu City Police Department, Prosecutor Huang and colleagues from Tainan District Prosecutors Office all aided in the arrest of the perpetrator. In addition, I would like to thank President Tsai, Premiere Su, National Police Agency Director-general Huang, and Minister of the Interior Hsu for assisting in this matter. Now, I would like to ask everyone to join me in a minute of silence to pay our respects to Officers Tu and Cao.
2. I ask the Public Works Bureau to assist the Social Affairs Bureau in monitoring the construction progress and subsequent handover of the operational transfer project for converting the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Sinying Hospital, Beimen Branch, into a diverse, long-term care resource center. The center is set to open on October 11. The Public Works Bureau and Social Affairs Bureau should ensure that all preparations are in place.
