Slapping the face of the Taipei District Prosecutors Office and make up for himself: Lin Jou-Min’s testimony is reversed
Lin Jou-Min’s performance seems like a witness to Ko Wen-Je, not the prosecution, and he directly slapped the prosecutor in the face to leading questions.
Court Summary:
1. Lin Jou-Min today proved that Core Pacific City (Living Mall) can be based on Article 24 of the Urban Planning Law and Article 25 of the Taipei City Urban Planning Implementation Autonomy Act, and the local government can determine the plot ratio according to the detailed plan and the needs of the city. This testimony has already slapped him in the face when he testified at the ICAC and the Taipei District Prosecutors Office in September last year, he insisted that “Core Pacific City (Living Mall) gives more than 560%, it is illegal”.
Today, Lin Jou-Min changed his words and said that it was not that there was no resource of explanation, and that he would say this at the Taipei District Prosecutors Office at that time, perhaps because he had been away from the Department of Urban Development for a long time, was not familiar with all the laws, and because he “had not read the complete plan of Core Pacific City (Living Mall)”, he could only insist that Ko Wen-Je violated the law through the limited and contextualized official documents provided to him by the prosecutor during the interrogation.
When the prosecution asked: Can Article 24 of the Urban Planning Law be used as a basis for giving building bulk ratio bonus?
Lin Jou-Min said: Yes! Of course it can be cited,… But it’s the whole book that is quoted that matters.
The prosecution induced again: So you say that using 24 alone is not a volume reward?
Lin: I didn’t say that! The real point is to study the proposal that I haven’t read clearly, and that proposal must have financial calculations, feedback, and its legal basis.
2. Lin Jou-Min testified that the Taipei City Government dragged for a very long time in the building bulk ratio dispute over Core Pacific City (Living Mall), and even during the litigation period, Core Pacific City (Living Mall) was a people’s organization and could have made a case in accordance with the law, and the Taipei City Government should and must accept it in accordance with the law.
3. Lin Jou-Min did not understand the organic law of the committee, and adopted a “majority decision”.
He said that when he was the chairman of the committee, if he encountered objections, he would ask and persuade them one by one until everyone had no opinions, which is why the Dome has been stuck, because his personal opinion is to reject the majority resolution of others.
Zheng Shen-yuan: The Organic Law of the Committee is a majority decision, and you are mistaken.
However, even according to Lin Jou-Min’ s misunderstanding, Core Pacific City (Living Mall) passed it through the “consensus decision” of all members of the Metropolitan Committee, and after he said that “Shao Xiu-pei, a civil servant who is better than the best”, explained to the last member present who still disagreed, everyone had no opinion before it was passed, which is exactly the same as the practice that Lin Jou-Min insisted on.
Lin Jou-Min still provoked in the court, saying that in the past, he had always insisted on the issue of the Big Dome that could not be built, and he could talk for three hours, but Mr. Lin Jou-min, whether you want to talk for three hours, thirty hours, or three hundred hours, it can’t change the fact that without you, the Big Dome can be handled legally and compliantly, and it has become one of the favorite leisure places for the citizens of Taipei City now.

Ko did not break the law, Hao should answer: Lin Jou-Min’s testimony is now a double standard and a system dilemma
Lin Jou-Min’s testimony of the former director proves that Ko Wen-Je“ never instructed” him what to do about Core Pacific City (Living Mall), and have the plot ratio get from 392% to 560% , Lin Jou-Min also felt reasonable, but why did it drag on for three mayors? Lin Jou-Min said, “I have to ask Hau Lung-pin.”
However, Lin Jou-Min still believes that it is absurd and fabricated for Core Pacific City (Living Mall) to reward the volume fraction of Core Pacific City (Living Mall) with three terms: resilient city contribution, smart city contribution, and livable city contribution, and said that “the history of urban planning of the Republic of China is unacceptable” and “I don’t want to see these three words again in my lifetime”.
However, he can’t deny that the urban plan could have given rewards according to the detailed plan, and even in the 721 times meeting of the metropolitan committee hosted by former deputy mayor Lin Chin-jung, the minutes of the meeting clearly stated that 100% of the volume fraction rewards given by the detailed plan have a legal source, which has nothing to do with personal preference, this is the law.
In response to Kaohsiung City Vice Mayor Lin Chin-Jung argument that the detailed plan cannot be amended during the litigation period between the people and the municipal government, Lin Jou-Min believes that “it can also be amended during the litigation period” and does not contradict it.
As for why Core Pacific City (Living Mall) dragged the three mayors, made Weijing constantly protest, and even fought for the due volume through litigation? Lin Jou-Min said bluntly: This should be asked Hau Lung-pin.
Lin Jou-Min’s testimony also proves to some extent that Ko Wen-Je is serious about governing the city, because before Ko Wen-Je took office, at least nine administrative districts in Taipei City had not reviewed the content of the urban plan for 25 years, so Ko Wen-Je asked the Metropolitan Development Bureau to conduct a comprehensive urban plan review.
Ko Wen-Je has done a lot of things that the previous mayor should have done but did not.

What happened？ The record is open and transparent, and after two years, it is said that it is illegal, I am shocked!
Ko Wen-Je speech - Hearing notes
Lin Jou-Min, I haven’t seen you for a long time…
I’m definitely not the kind of person who emboldens, you probably all know me. I didn’t give any instructions or anything, and the kind of system we were dealing with at that time, there was a morning meeting, and any opinions could be raised. Like that Taifo was blocked by me like this.
It was like BSTP, and it was discussed several times in the morning meeting. The case is strange and no one ever cries for help. Did you not talk about Mayor Ko today, but in fact, the most important thing in my second term as the Taipei City Government, or Taiwan, was COVID-19.
At that time, it was me and Huang Shanshan and Cai Bingkun to deal with the new crown pneumonia, and the general municipal government was dealing with the deputy mayor Pong Cheng-sheng, and Core Pacific City (Living Mall) was never in charge in my second term, which means that it was too late to deal with the new crown pneumonia.
In my second term, Core Pacific City (Living Mall) was not in charge, like a bento meeting, there were meeting minutes, PM, but in the mayor’s office, it was never listed.
My question today is how can this case be completed if all the civil servants oppose it? That’s what I can’t get over the most, I still can’t figure it out, this is a crisis for the Republic of China, you know?
Procedural justice, the chief didn’t give an order, just follow the procedure, and tell me two years later, “You have broken the law” Honestly, I’m shock, what happened?
It’s a matter of the system, and we’re open and transparent, and I’m sure no other countries or city government’s minutes are as complete as we are. We have meeting minutes, verbatim transcripts, audio and video recordings, and so on.
For me, I’m still observing, and I’m wondering, “What happened?” What the hell is going on? I still don’t know.
