Taipei, Sept. 25 (CNA) Terry Gou (郭台銘), founder of Hon Hai Precision Industry and an honorary

member of the opposition Kuomintang (KMT), will stick to his decision to leave the party and will not agree to retain his membership, one of his aides said Wednesday.

The aide Tsai Chin-yu (蔡沁瑜) told reporters that Gou has already rid himself of the burden of the KMT and he does not want to be entangled with it anymore.

The statement followed a decision by the KMT's Taipei City chapter not to accept Gou's resignation from the party, which was submitted on Sept. 12 along with his honorary membership card.

KMT Chairman Wu Den-yih (吳敦義) and the Central Standing Committee have accepted a proposal by the party's Taipei City chapter for Gou to remain as a party member, KMT spokesman Ou-Yang Long (歐陽龍) said Wednesday.    [FULL  STORY]
