00:00Before watching the video, remember to check out the more content on trending websites.
00:04Before we move on to the next news, let me ask you a question.
00:07It's like if one day you're in a garbage dump on the street
00:10I saw a working rice cooker, frying pan, or even a piece of furniture.
00:13Would you take it home and continue using it?
00:15Recently, an incident related to waste recycling occurred in Osaka, Japan.
00:20Controversial events
00:21An employee of a waste disposal company
00:23They were discovered to have taken usable items from the junkyard without permission.
00:28thing
00:29Including things like removing wires from discarded appliances.
00:32Also, there are frying pans, brooms, towels, etc., to take home or to the office.
00:37Then he was reported.
00:38Then the company itself was also punished as a result.
00:41So what exactly happened?
00:43This incident actually occurred in March of this year.
00:46At the time, some members of the public saw employees of the waste disposal company.
00:50Taking items from the garbage dump without permission
00:53So I went online to complain.
00:55The investigation revealed that the company had 16 employees.
00:59Similar behaviors have been occurring since 2024.
01:03Although these employees later admitted that...
01:05They didn't take these items to resell for profit.
01:09Instead, they felt that those things were still usable.
01:12That would be such a waste to just throw it away.
01:15But what about the employees' explanation?
01:17The local government will not bail them out.
01:19For them
01:20Waste disposal services are public services performed on a contract basis.
01:23Employees should not be allowed to decide which things.
01:26They took it without permission.
01:27To take for oneself
01:28The government of Fukudabayashi City, Osaka Prefecture
01:31It was announced on June 1st.
01:33Which company?
01:34Punishment
01:36Within the next two months
01:37They are not allowed to participate in any bidding projects related to the municipal government.
01:40At the same time, such behavior is emphasized
01:41This has damaged the credibility of waste disposal companies.
01:43Trust in public services for citizens
01:46What happened after the relevant news was exposed?
01:48Japanese social media exploded instantly.
01:50This has sparked polarized discussions.
01:52Some netizens believe that these employees
01:54It's just that those originally
01:56Reusing items that have been discarded by the public
01:59That not only reduces waste
02:01It also aligns perfectly with the spirit of environmental protection.
02:03But what about...?
02:04Another group of people believe that...
02:05If the waste disposal company's employees
02:07It is permissible to take waste without permission.
02:09What about the future?
02:10It may evolve into
02:11They would deliberately search for those
02:13What are some valuable items?
02:15Profits from private resale
02:17It could even lead to chaos at the scene.
02:19So what?
02:20They believe the relevant regulations
02:22It is still necessary to strictly enforce this.
02:24In fact, what about similar controversies?
02:26This didn't just happen in Japan.
02:27Like last year, Taiwan also had
02:29There was a similar case
02:31One has served for over thirty years
02:32What happens to the cleaning staff during their work hours?
02:34I found one that's still usable.
02:35Value approximately
02:36There are 32 NTD left.
02:38Also, a rice cooker costing approximately four ringgit.
02:40After this cleaning worker
02:41Just the rice cooker
02:42Give to someone I don't know
02:44But often
02:46One he saw
02:47The Old Woman of Time
02:48I didn't expect this one
02:49An act of goodwill
02:50What happened next?
02:51He was charged with corruption.
02:53The court also sentenced him.
02:54Three months imprisonment
02:56two years probation
02:56And within a year
02:57Unable to serve as a civil servant
02:59Or running for public office
03:00With this verdict handed down
03:02It has also attracted attention in the local community.
03:04Mingming, this cleaning worker
03:06No profit
03:07Even out of goodwill
03:09So why was it identified as
03:11Is it an act of embezzlement?
03:12Regarding this point
03:13Taiwan's Ministry of Justice also acknowledges
03:15It is indeed their system.
03:16Problems
03:17So what about them now?
03:18The legislative amendment process has already begun.
03:20In the future, it will target
03:21Small financial cases
03:23The judge may decide on the matter at his discretion.
03:25It can alleviate
03:26Or exempt from punishment
03:28After hearing about other countries
03:29After the situation in the region
03:31I just don't know what it means to you.
03:32Cleaning workers do this
03:33Should it be enforced by law?
03:36No
