During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Taoyuan Airport Metro suddenly suspended the use of 97 water purifiers, citing flaws in water quality sampling by an outsourced inspection company. Legislator Huang Chiung-hui later revealed suspicions that the maintenance company had potentially falsified samples with pre-packaged water and non-original filters. The Taoyuan Metro responded by asserting that all water purifiers passed subsequent inspections and urged passengers to use water with peace of mind. Huang also criticized Taoyuan Metro for evading serious issues and misleadingly shifting focus from the maintenance company's actions to the inspection agency's approval, despite using a government-approved institution for testing.

According to Citigroup Inc., global investors who have invested in Indian government bonds for their inclusion in a key debt index are likely to remain invested and not rush to take profits. With India's higher debt yields and fast-growing economy compared to China and the US, the inclusion in the JPMorgan index is expected to bring in around $30 billion into the country. Despite concerns over the recent election outcome and fiscal policies, Citigroup predicts that India's 10-year yield could drop to 6.80-6.85% with fiscal consolidation, potentially reaching 6.5% with rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and the Reserve Bank of India.

Recently, many people have captured the unusual sight of 'flying saucer clouds.' The correct name for these clouds is 'lenticular clouds.' When a stable and 'moist' air current blows over hills, it creates a wave-like up and down movement. As the air current is forced to rise, vapor condenses into clouds when it cools, and when the air current descends and warms up, the clouds evaporate back into invisible vapor, causing the lenticular clouds to form. These clouds have been particularly visible on the east side of Yangmingshan due to a strong high-altitude southwest wind. The clouds are not a sign of extraterrestrial activity or impending disaster but are a natural phenomenon related to the topography.
