00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:04 After the government announced that it would change the pension of civil servants to the public fund system,
00:10 the most outrageous thing is that why the government only touched the civil servant pension system,
00:15 but not the pension of politicians.
00:18 Some politicians, after retiring from the position of state congressman to the minister or other related companies,
00:25 can also receive three to four pension.
00:28 The most outrageous thing is that some old-fashioned politicians,
00:31 after retiring from the position of state congressman to the minister or other related companies,
00:36 can receive several pension.
00:40 Does the Taiwan government really only dare to cut the civil servants, but not the officials?
00:46 Huang Jinfa, a professor of political science at the University of Taiwan,
00:49 thinks that even the reform of the pension is a worthy move,
00:52 but An Hua only later persuaded the politicians to automatically receive a pension,
00:58 and has lost the opportunity to let people catch the handle,
01:01 and thinks that his knife only cuts the civilians.
01:04 After the first An Hua's topic of pension caused a rebound,
01:07 he persuaded those politicians who are in the position of government officials to shoulder moral responsibility,
01:14 and only receive a pension.
01:16 But this is just persuasion,
01:18 and in the end, it is up to their conscience to decide whether they want to give up other pensions.
01:24 After An Hua proposed this persuasion,
01:26 in fact, there were not many responses or comments from politicians.
01:30 In the past three days,
01:31 the Eight O'Clock Sun News has been trying to contact many retired and re-elected members,
01:37 but they were unable to accept visits due to various reasons.
01:42 However, yesterday, Minister of Transport Lu Zhaofu said that he was ready to sacrifice pension to implement the reform agenda
01:49 to reduce the national fiscal burden.
01:51 The Action Party will make this change with the government.
01:56 I do not agree with the view that politicians should be excluded.
02:03 It means that those who will be candidates and voters will have to accept the fact that their scheme does not include pension.
02:11 If they do not agree to be candidates, then it is good.
02:14 The government abolished the pension for civil servants,
02:16 but did not cut back on politicians.
02:20 After An Hua's suggestion,
02:21 the new members of the state will not receive the pension,
02:25 and the existing members of the state should not receive several pensions.
02:29 However, An Hua's suggestion did not receive much response from current members.
02:33 Only the Mapo MP, Saishati,
02:35 criticized the government on his social media account for cutting down small people and letting big people go.
02:40 The minister received two or three pensions in the state level,
02:44 an allowance of hundreds of thousands a year,
02:46 and some even served as GLC officers.
02:49 The pension is still there, and the civil servants only get RM1,500 for working day and night,
02:57 living in a remote quarters,
02:59 and working for decades.
03:01 The pension is denied.
03:02 Is it fair or not?
03:04 The current chairman of the Supreme Council, Liu Huacai, also agreed when he was interviewed.
03:09 If the civil servants' pensions are to be cut,
03:11 they should start with state members and politicians.
03:14 The pension should start with the state members.
03:17 But the constitution does not prohibit you from working.
03:23 You can still work as a state member.
03:25 You can't work as a minister.
03:28 You may need a pension.
03:31 I think the minister should be considered.
03:34 Because the minister is not a long-term person.
03:36 You can't start as a minister at the age of 20 and retire.
03:41 A pension is a long-term job.
03:44 You need it when you retire.
03:47 So I think the minister can use the EPF system,
03:51 instead of the current civil servant pension system.
03:55 Huang Jinfa, a political scientist at Shuangwei University, also believes that
03:58 it is good to reform the civil servant pension system in Anhua.
04:01 But the method is not comprehensive enough.
04:03 The pension for civil servants must be cut,
04:05 but the pension for politicians must be abolished.
04:07 The system is not comprehensive enough.
04:09 It is like a knife to the people.
04:12 If you want to cut the civil servants,
04:14 should you cut the state members and ministers?
04:18 There must be a system.
04:20 If there is no system,
04:21 whether it is a different system or a three-way system,
04:24 everyone can be a hero.
04:25 So the government looks like a knife to the people,
04:30 but not to the public.
04:32 You can talk about it later.
04:34 I call on everyone to vote for the right.
04:37 But you say later that you call on these representatives
04:41 to weigh their own conscience and get a pension.
04:45 You have lost that chance.
04:47 The CEO of Zhongzong, Kong Linglong, also pointed out that
04:49 if the reform of the pension system should start with the people's consciousness,
04:54 then the civil servant's rebound will not be so big.
04:56 For the current politicians,
04:58 they can get several pensions at the same time.
05:01 Kong Linglong and Huang Jinfa all think
05:03 that even if the government decides to let politicians continue to receive pensions,
05:07 they can only get one.
05:09 First, from the people's consciousness,
05:11 first make a good model, a model,
05:14 slowly, then enter the so-called civil servant.
05:18 The rebound of the existing civil servant is not so big.
05:21 You can't just get three or four.
05:23 It's like if you have a lot of pension,
05:26 do you need to pay the tax?
05:28 The tax level is the same. You can only write one to get rid of it.
05:31 The rest have to pay taxes.
05:33 So I think in turn,
05:35 the member of parliament should only get one.
05:39 You think that a person from a state councilor to a state executive,
05:43 then to the next member, then to the minister,
05:46 and then to the next member,
05:48 he will get five pensions.
05:50 In the UK, you get the highest one.
05:52 So why don't we dare?
05:54 If you say, okay, these civil servants,
05:57 they hold their own votes,
05:59 and pressure the government,
06:01 then the member of parliament is not using his own power to threaten the government.
06:05 So why does the government only dare to eliminate, not dare to take over?
06:08 This is a failure.
06:09 Although some people think that politicians should not get pensions,
06:12 but Huang Xinfa believes that the budget is a price.
06:15 In order to attract better talents,
06:17 politicians should actually enjoy the guarantee of pension,
06:20 but they can't get several at the same time.
06:23 My personal opinion is that they only get one.
06:26 Why do I think so?
06:28 Because if we want more talents to participate,
06:32 because you are a politician, you have to pay a price.
06:35 So if you get this pension,
06:37 it will be a safer guarantee.
06:40 Huang Xinfa believes that politicians need to get pension.
06:48 After all, there is a price to pay for politics.
06:50 And such a guarantee can also allow more talented people to participate in politics.
06:55 But what Anhua and the government must do is to provide a more comprehensive package.
06:59 We can't let politicians choose freely whether they want to give up or not.
07:04 Thank you.
07:06 The End
07:08 Thank you for watching.
