According to the news from SET News, the People's Party faction held a press conference focusing on the controversy of importing eggs by the Agricultural Ministry. The People's Party faction leader Huang Kuo-chang accused Superthink Co., with a capital of only 500,000 yuan, of receiving a 200 million yuan order to import Japanese eggs from the Taiwan Livestock Research Institute before being tasked by the Agricultural Ministry to import Brazilian eggs last year. However, the Agricultural Ministry refuted in the afternoon, stating that due to the different box sizes of Taiwanese and Japanese eggs, there was a miscalculation by the committee members, but the total weight was the same, and there was no shortage of quantity. DPP Legislator Hung Sheng-han expressed concern that the Agricultural Ministry, confirmed to be mistakenly accused by Huang Kuo-chang, could be convicted of contempt of parliament. Hung Sheng-han pointed out that although it was just a simple administrative fact clarification, he was worried for the Agricultural Ministry's clarification and the accusation against Huang Kuo-chang, questioning whether the above-mentioned accusation and clarification, if occurred in a questioning session, could lead to a majority voting to determine it as 'contempt of parliament,' directly imposing a fine of 200,000. He emphasized the possibility of continuous fines until the official changes their statement, highlighting the controversial context surrounding parliamentary powers. More reports by SET News include statements from Zhou Wei-hang mentioning Huang Kuo-chang's long-term influence and comments by Wu Tsung-hsien and Lin Chun-hsien criticizing Huang Kuo-chang's actions.
