The disasters caused by Typhoon Morakto on August 8th in Taiwan shocked the whole world. Many people lost their families and properties. More than 500 people died. It’s the biggest catastrophe in Taiwan’s history. The amount of death could be reduced if the government were alert to the warning in advance.
The first reaction for most Taiwanese is to sympathize the victims and try their best to help them as much as we can. However, for the ugly government and politicians, their first reaction is to find someone to blame. It’s really a shame for all Taiwanese that such incompetent government was elected and is still supported. It’s been 20 days since the disaster, but none of the government officers takes the responsibility for the late rescue.
Does the tragedy unite all Taiwanese? Absolutely not, and it never will. Perhaps it’s the same everywhere in the world, but thinking of that still makes me very depressed. When most people can’t see the truth and tell what’s right or wrong, is there still a hope in this country?
It’s even ridiculous to see the invitation for Dalai Lama to Taiwan irritates the KMT politicians more than Chinese government. Has KMT become Chinese representative in Taiwan? Dalai Lama expresses peace and love while Chinese Communist Party reveals violence and tyranny. Any human being with a real heart would definitely stand with Dalai Lama. KMT welcomes and invites those CCP murderers to Taiwan but opposes Dalai Lama. Can the majority in Taiwan see the KMT’s intrinsic depravity?
KMT has spent a lot of energy and time on arguing over and doing nonsense. There are many important issues for us to care about. I haven’t seen any debates or discussions on public policies for many years. It seems that Taiwan government can do whatever they want until they lose votes. Those short-sighted policies are exactly the murderers in the tragedy. If the majority only knows how to differentiate blue and green but not truth and false, I really don’t have confidence in Taiwan’s future.
I sincerely hope the majority can open their eyes and push Taiwan to move on.
