Lin Kou-enn (林國演) yesterday resigned as director-general of the National Conscription Agency (NCA) over an altercation with a military base guard, Minister of the Interior Yeh Jiunn-rong (葉俊榮) said.

The agency, which is part of the Ministry of the Interior, is in charge of supervising alternative military service conscripts.

A netizen on Sunday wrote on social media that Lin had misbehaved while on Friday trying to enter Taichung’s Chenggong Ling (成功嶺) military base, where alternative military service conscripts are trained, to attend an event with conscripts.

After his car was stopped at the gates, Lin and his chauffeur allegedly had an altercation with a guard, during which his chauffeur reportedly called the guard a “dog” and told him to “eat shit.”    [FULL  STORY]
