The Highways Bureau held a briefing on the National Highway No. 7 without notifying landowners, sparking suspicions among locals that the DPP government and a national-level engineering consultant company might be involved in a fraudulent scheme to advance the project at the expense of residents and farmers' rights. Councilor Chiu Yu-hsuan, at the briefing, questioned the planning committee's actions, leading to an altercation with Lin Chia-yu, who accused her of speaking without basis. Chiu threatened legal action against Lin for insult and defamation, vowing to block construction without residents' consent. The controversy involves allegations of collusion between officials and businesses, with locals demanding transparency and accountability from authorities.
