President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on Sunday held a meeting with top executive and legislative leaders and ruling party mayors of four municipalities, urging them to push ahead with the government’s major policy initiatives, including reform of the nation’s pension system.

The meeting came on the heels of a mass rally a day earlier of retired and active civil servants, public-school teachers and military personnel, who vented their anger at being “stigmatized” over their seemingly fat pensions.

Tsai asked Cabinet members, and legislative and local government leaders to help speed up the reform of the pension system as the public has high hopes of its success.

“We must make sure that our pension system is sustainable and that every member of the public can enjoy a quality retirement,” Presidential Office spokesman Alex Huang (黃重諺) quoted Tsai as saying.     [FULL  STORY]
