The controversy surrounding the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation continues to escalate. Taoyuan City Councilor Chan Chiang-tsun called on former National Security Council Secretary-General King Pu-tsung to return to the US and stop interfering in the family affairs of former President Ma Ying-jeou. King stated today that regarding Chan's implication on Facebook that he is an American or holds a US green card, he emphasizes that he has never held any passport or permanent residency card from any other country besides the Republic of China. King expressed regret that Chan spread rumors without verification, attempting to smear others with fake news. King stated that if Chan does not publicly correct and clarify this matter, he will take legal action to defend his reputation. The Ma Ying-jeou Foundation filed criminal charges on the 29th against former employees Hsiao Hsu-tsen and Wang Kuang-tzu, alleging violations of financial discipline.
