saying that there will be no “adjustment period” for the government, which is expected to push for various reforms.
The Cabinet meeting was the first since President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) was sworn in with the new administration on Friday last week, when Lin said he hopes that the Cabinet will be a disciplined team that would show its esprit de corps with professionalism and resolve.
Lin said that he hopes the Cabinet could make major changes in a short period of time in a bid to re-establish the public’s trust in the government, adding that he has three demands and three expectations.
“First, the making of the government’s public policies must be a process that allows sufficient communication with the public; every policy’s starting point should be the public’s needs, expectations and dignity,” Lin said. [FULL STORY]
