The Legislative Yuan passed the 'Legislative Yuan Power Exercise Law' amendment to include the crime of 'disrespecting the parliament' on May 28th, with Hong Kong police arresting 3 fans during a recent international football match for not standing or facing the flag during the national anthem, sparking discussions. Sibata Akio expressed concerns, questioning if in Taiwan, not showing respect to the Legislative Yuan might be seen as 'disrespecting the parliament' in the future, drawing parallels with the incident in Hong Kong where individuals faced arrests for alleged national anthem insult.
