Penghu National Scenic Area Administration director Chen Chih-hsien (陳志賢) has been
transferred after he was allegedly involved in a verbal conflict with staff at the Four Points by Sheraton Penghu hotel while under the influence of alcohol, Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) said yesterday.
Chen was a guest at a dinner hosted by Penghu tourism operators on Thursday last week for a group of seven visitors from the Kaohsiung-based President Group.
At about 9pm, the group moved to the bar on the second basement floor of the hotel, sources said.
Since the live music was not scheduled to begin until 9:30pm, Chen asked to borrow the band’s guitar, but was told he could not, sources said. [FULL STORY]
