Ko Chih-en revealed that the draft proposal to loosen regulations on nuclear power plant license renewals is set for review in the committee next Wednesday. The Nationalist Party has introduced legislation for the 'extension of nuclear energy operations' in response to the closure of reactor 1 at the Jinshan Nuclear Power Plant. The proposed amendments aim to relax the 5-year deadline requirement and allow continued operation upon confirmation of safety by authorities. Ko emphasized that while the Nationalist Party reflects public and business needs, the decision still rests with the Democratic Progressive Party in power. Even if the legislation passes, the decision to restart nuclear energy plants ultimately lies with the ruling party.

Reportedly, the 'Minion Fun Run' event scheduled to take place at the New Taipei Metropolitan Park on July 6, 2024, is facing complaints from consumers who paid to participate. Upon receiving their race kits, participants found that the shirts provided were different from what was advertised, leading to allegations of false advertising. The New Taipei City Government's consumer protection officer has intervened, urging the organizing company, Capso Co., Ltd., to offer solutions such as providing the originally advertised shirts or issuing full refunds before the event. This incident is part of a trend where road race events collaborate with cartoon brands, often resulting in disputes over delayed or mismatched merchandise, with New Taipei City handling 44 such complaints in the past year alone. The investigation revealed that Capso Co., Ltd. from Taipei proceeded with registration before finalizing the shirt design and copyright agreements, causing significant discrepancies from the initial announcement. Despite the organizer's proposed solutions, with the event just days away, the consumer protection officer has required them to announce the resolution on the event website, giving participants the option to request the original shirt design before July 5, 113.
