Concerns were raised regarding the misuse of public funds for the ID card project, and efforts are being made to freeze or cut the budget in the next session.

On June 17, 2024, at 2:18 a.m., Wang Ya-Hui revealed that Tang Chih-ping determined his mother had left home but not passed away. Although the police objectively confirmed the deceased was Tang's mother, Tang insists it is not her, refusing to acknowledge the corpse. He currently believes his mother is missing and not deceased, leading to a situation where his mother could become an unclaimed corpse. A fortune teller pointed out that Tang's refusal to acknowledge the situation may be due to a distorted perception caused by alcohol addiction, making him unable to accept the truth, potentially resulting in his mother being buried as an unclaimed corpse after 25 days of public notice.

In recent years, Chinese consumers have been purchasing latex mattresses and pillows from e-commerce platforms or tourist attractions, but complaints are increasing due to the easy appearance of yellow dust and foul acid smell in these products. Investigation revealed that many so-called high-purity natural latex products are actually substandard quality, with some reportedly turning yellow and suspected of being low-grade products falsely labeled as high-end.
