DPP legislator Li Kun-cheng mentioned that the budget for the Forward-looking Infrastructure Special Act only has 743 billion left, asking if there will be a fifth round of budget allocation for the forward-looking budget. Minister Chen responded that the Executive Yuan plans to allocate the fifth round of forward-looking budget to address remaining local needs.
