A fire broke out in the early hours of October 14 in a "city within a city" building in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, killing 46 people. The police chief of Kaohsiung City said that as of 9 a.m. on the 15th, 23 victims had completed identification.
In this regard, Chen Ju, the "chief supervisor" of the DPP authorities who has served as the mayor of Kaohsiung for many years, said on Facebook after the incident that he was very sad in his heart and prayed together that the deceased would rest in peace and the living would be safe. However, some netizens left a message asking, "What protective measures have you done for this building in your 12 years?" ”
Some netizens said: "Is there a plan for reconstruction and resettlement?" Say with your mouth that the building can be updated? Can the vulnerable get out of the predicament? Since she is still in the position of 'Inspector General', she can investigate within her authority and ask the heads of various regions to improve."
However, some netizens pointed out that there are extremely vulnerable old, disabled, poor and poor people living in dangerous buildings in the "six capitals" (Taipei City, Kaohsiung City, New Taipei City, Taichung City, Tainan City, Taoyuan City) in the old urban area, and the authorities have asked the "Six Capitals" Social Bureau to make a list of evacuation and resettlement, so as to avoid similar fire casualties? Please make sure that the authorities do their best to rescue and provide relief.
