阿扁 and I were not only graduated from the same high school but also same college in the same year.  When he came to here in 92, I went to listen to his speech.   I also donated money for his mayor campaign.  I was very happy when he got elected as President of Taiwan.   But gradually I found he was not the same person as he was in 92.

He was corrupted, some people he appointed to the high government official were also corrupted by power. The down fall of Ah Bian's DPP started from his denial of 陳由豪 donation. I condemned his act.  He not only denied the donation also scolded 陳由豪 as a criminal.  To me he was worse than 陳由豪. Gradually DPP fell from two third of local government and national assembly to less than one quarter.  In his second term, if he lost this term he and DPP will be better off today,  he defended his corruption by comparing himself to old Chiang.  Then he denied his corruption in trial. That was very absurd. 

Why was 阿扁 able to corrupt so much money.  This is a more serious issue then the corruption itself.  First there is no one to limit the power of Taiwanese president. so his subordinates followed his order to protect their positions.  Then the system is similar to dictatorship not democratic.  Sencond businessman 辜 and others bribed him.  But right now businessman 辜 and other businessman are free.  If current Ma's government and the government afterward do not correct the above two issues, then he is opening the door for corrupting money and hope he does not get caught.

P.S. Sorry for writing this blog in English, I found it is easier for me to use English letter than Chinese character.
