An elevator malfunction occurred in the Legislative Yuan Building, causing Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Lai Jui-ling and Kuomintang Legislator Lin Ssu-ming to be trapped for 10 minutes before being rescued. Lai criticized the incident and called for Legislative Yuan President Han Kuo-yu and Secretary-General Chou Wan to promptly address the elevator issue. The Legislative Yuan stated that they will thoroughly inspect and repair the elevators with the help of professional organizations to ensure passenger safety, and hold the manufacturer accountable as per the contract. The incident was caused by a component failure, and after repairs were made, the elevator is now deemed safe for use. The legislature will also further examine both old and new elevator components to ensure safety and accountability from the manufacturer.
