On June 14, 2024, the elevator in the Legislative Yuan's Zhongxing Building malfunctioned again, trapping legislators for 10 minutes. This incident involved DPP legislator Lai Jui-lung and KMT legislator Lin Ssu-ming. Lai expressed frustration on Facebook, calling for improvements in the Legislative Yuan, especially criticizing the elevator malfunction and urging the Prime Minister and Secretary-General to thoroughly review. Despite past elevator incidents and repairs, malfunctions persist, causing fear for legislators and assistants. The institution confirmed an elevator part fault causing the shutdown and enacted safety measures. The elevator had undergone renovations in 2021 and was inspected by the end of 2023. The Legislative Yuan plans to hold the manufacturer accountable under the contract for ensuring passenger safety.
