Taiwanese Legislator Accused of Bringing Sleeping Bag into Parliament, Confronted by Colleague

Reported 10 months ago

The Parliament Reform Act reconsideration will be voted on tomorrow, with the Kuomintang (KMT) caucus starting to 'guard the legislative floor gate' this afternoon. During a shift change, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator Hong Shenhan was suspected of bringing a sleeping bag, leading KMT legislator Hsu Chia-chin to confront him about it, insinuating he brought it to the parliament. After several inquiries, Hong finally responded, 'So what if I brought a sleeping bag?' and Hsu joked, 'Ah, a sleeping bag, are you trying to turn the podium into a camping area? It's that simple.' Hong expressed exasperation, remarking, 'They (the KMT) are a bit overly sensitive.'
