Taiwan’s first typhoon of the year led to office closures at 4 pm today in many parts of Northern Taiwan. After the fact, Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je’s Facebook page was attacked by complaints that 4pm was too late. Taipei mayor spoke out publicly to defend the choice of timing. He shrugged off the online complaints, saying that a 100% satisfaction rate is seen only in North Korea.
