Kaohsiung, Nov. 6 (CNA) Supporters of a baker who became famous after posting a film of former
president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁)walking in a local park have ordered so much bread that the man said it will take two to three weeks to clear the backlog.
Huang Shih-fu (黃士福), of Kaohsiung City, became a household name after his film of Chen walking in a Kaohsiung park — chiding him and even threatening to sue him — went viral on the Internet recently.
As the film showed the former president to be healthy and spirited when he is on medical parole from a 20-year corruption jail term, the baker has received threatening calls from Chen sympathizers who demanded the city government send tax and public health officials to inspect his small kitchen that makes bread products for sale on a park stall.
Not long after, Huang was visited by tax and health officials, followed by a message from his landlord that when the current tenant lease ends he will have to look for a new place to run his business. [FULL STORY]
