The Hsinchu County Government launched the 'Fong Cai 520' construction project in Zhubei City, but was accused of cutting corners on construction costs, leading to five collapses in the area. Hsinchu County Magistrate Yang Wen-ke was alleged not to have stopped the construction despite knowing, and instead helped the developer resume work, which resulted in the prosecution against him for alleged favoritism. Yang expressed disappointment and confusion at the accusations, stating that the investigations were one-sided and lacked concrete evidence to support the prosecution. Twelve individuals, including Yang and other officials and developers, are facing charges related to corruption and construction violations, with further investigation ongoing.
