A few works done by Mayor Ko in Taipei City/Carlos Pueblo
Mayor Ko invites his department head to have a lunch box meeting with amateur
internet media
to present a few works done by his administration. He doesn’t mind
to be
interrupted during his 6 ½ minutes fast swallowing food to answer some point
posted by
those two young men. I am very impressed of his management of his limited
24 hours a
day and his limited budget of 20 million home equity loan to fight his re-
election at
the end of the year. There has been several appearances with different
department,
i.e. Dr. Hsu of the city welfare bureau; Mr. Lin of the city development;
city
educational bureau; city cultural bureau, and other, 6 of them at present. All
posted on
Youtube under the name of Mayor Ko.
Dr. Hsu, the
bureau chief of the welfare, has been an associate with the Mayor for a long
Time as his disciple
and subordinate at the University medical school as well as the subordinate
Hospital. He
has been trained and learned all his professor’s skills to analysis and execute
his
task all
under a standard operation procedure, SOP. He sets up pilot programs for the
poor
neighborhood
including homeless 4 area at the beginning in corporation with the city heat
bureau and
the city general hospital systems to provide necessary and affordable help
within
the city
budget and manpower. The program has been expanded several folded each year.
Taipei has
been in existence as a city for about 125 years. It was well planned at the
beginning
of Japanese
rule until 1945 under Nationalist Chinese occupation. Due to several reasons,
the
old city
becomes deteriorated, unsafe, and inhumane to live. This Mr. Lin, a world known
city
planner,
convinces Mayor Ko and the city council to budget available fund and manpower
to
engage the
reconstruction, toll down the building, arrangement of relocation of resident,
and
beginning of
new construction with advanced residential planning, such as senior care, under
school age
children care, and public housing. It can be called the most advanced facility
of
modern time
in compare with the Netherlands and Germany. He also mentions that the city
hospitals
can even provide mobile clinic unit to reach such new residential project to do
needed
service. The
chief of the city health bureau is also an associate of Mayor Ko, his professor
at
NTU Medical
School and Hospital.
I only have
had a very limited space to introduce the new English learning project, the
same as
the re-innovation
of residential project, it has been all under SOP, standard operation
procedure,
to set up
pilot plan and expanded rapidly each year. There are 4 pilot elementary schools
selected to have this English pilot program to teach English at the 1st
grade and up for certain
hours a week
and extended to fine art and music classes to practice. Now, I see English as a
second official language in Taiwan can be possible.
