The Legislative Yuan's Internal Affairs Committee has set up a review team due to privacy concerns regarding the digital ID card, which has cost the government NT$1.4 billion. However, some legislators found that the information provided by the Ministry of the Interior was either blacked out or pixelated, with the ministry responding that they were not obliged to disclose according to the law. Concerns were raised regarding the misuse of public funds for the ID card project, and efforts are being made to freeze or cut the budget in the next session. The opposition party is using this situation to emphasize the legitimacy of their parliamentary reform efforts, while various lawmakers express frustration at the lack of transparency and accountability.
