The issue of electricity supply is a concern for the public, especially with the recent increase in electricity prices. Minister of Economic Affairs Guo Zhuhui's statement that 'cheaper electricity doesn't mean better as it leads to wastage' sparked debates. Nationalist Party legislator Hong Mengkai criticized the use of profane language, questioning if it is a necessary skill for Democratic Progressive Party officials. Hong expressed disappointment in the government's lack of efforts to address energy issues and solve people's problems, particularly during hot weather. He further criticized Guo's stance, saying it deviates from his past pragmatic approach and resembles typical Democratic Progressive Party rhetoric. Hong raised concerns over the implications of rising electricity prices and urged for a practical and stable energy policy.
