Panadol is set to increase prices in July, with a projected 8%-10% hike, leading to an estimated rise of 10 to 15 yuan per box. Due to this, pharmacies are already controlling stocks, and consumers are advised not to be brand loyal but to consider alternatives with the same active ingredients like paracetamol instead. The price increase is likely linked to the recent rise in electricity prices, and consumers are urged to check stock levels and consider generic alternatives amidst the current situation.

Gin Oy, who lived in Japan for many years, shares insights on Japan's priority seating culture and rules, emphasizing the importance of 'reading the air' and not necessarily giving up seats in specific situations to avoid causing discomfort. In Japan, using mobile phones near priority seats is prohibited due to unique cultural norms. Oy explains that in Taiwan, the controversy over priority seats stems more from societal pressures and misunderstandings rather than the seats themselves, contrasting with Japan where individuals must assess the situation before offering a seat, following unspoken social cues such as pregnant women or elderly standing nearby.

This project, approved by President Putin and overseen by Maxim Oreshkin, aims to create an alternative to the Swift network excluded by major Russian banks post-Ukraine invasion. The initiative may boost Russia's GDP and expand business with Russia-friendly countries, but could also raise the risk of Bakalchuk facing sanctions from the US and EU.

The Taipei District Court recently ruled to drop charges against former President Chen Shui-bian in a money laundering case due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. Nationalist Party legislator Xie Longjie believes that President Lai Ching-te has been carefully planning to shield Chen Shui-bian by using delay tactics. Xie Longjie disclosed that in the last two weeks of former President Tsai Ing-wen's term, there were rumors of a potential pardon for Chen Shui-bian, but it did not materialize as Chen reportedly had disagreements regarding returning illicit gains and admitting guilt in some pending cases. Amid internal faction issues in the Democratic Progressive Party, a pardon for Chen Shui-bian was seen as inevitable for securing support, leading to strategies like delaying the legal process. Xie Longjie criticized the lack of fairness and justice, pointing out that Chen Shui-bian would be directly pardoned if he agreed to admit guilt and return money, whereas delays and complacency from the Ministry of Justice allowed Chen to evade justice. Xie Longjie questioned why prosecutors did not apply for the reopening of trials despite Chen's ability to attend court hearings and media appearances, indicating the absence of health issues that were cited for the initial suspension of trials.
