Hualien County Commissioner Fu Kun-chi is scrambling for reconstruction funds and has even appealed to the public to donate money rather than goods.
Fu complained bitterly that when an earthquake struck Tainan two years ago, the Cabinet immediately allocated NT$20 billion and Hualien has only received NT$300 million. Premier Lai Ching-te responded by saying the government applies the same set of standards whenever it responds to natural disasters. [SOURCE]
