Lawmakers across party lines yesterday criticized the Ministry of National Defense (MND) for a lapse in security after a man on Thursday climbed over the wall around the ministry building, live-streaming the incident on the Internet for nearly 10 minutes before he was detained.

The man, surnamed Wu (吳), livestreamed the incident on Facebook, showing him walking in front of the Heng Shan Military Command Center’s gates.
