2009/08/08 水淹政府

What kind of president to blame died citizens in front of global media? rather seeing people dying than getting assistance from countries with capabilities which we don't have? Refuse until receiving mass complains and lie to nations you never reject! If all you can do is blaming people and don't take any responsibility, hell knows where you belong to.

It was a natural disaster until the government made it become a man-made calamities.

Volunteers can, why government cannot? God bless you people in southern Taiwan!!!


The New York Times: Taiwan President Is Target of Anger After Typhoon

The Wall Street Journal: Outcry Grows in Taiwan as Death Toll Rises
"Critics focused on the Ma administration's decision to refrain from issuing an emergency order that would give the government greater power to requisition personnel and equipment. The government has also declined to ask for assistance from international organizations.

The government said both steps were unnecessary. Presidential spokesman Wang Yu-chi said legal changes made after a 1999 earthquake gave the administration enough power and flexibility to deal with the catastrophe. "The rescue needs to be improved, but we don't think issuing an emergency order would help," he said."

司馬觀點：馬英九帶愛心到災區

... "如果「救災如作戰」這句話是真的，那麼馬英九這個三軍統帥實在太令人擔心了。他似乎不知道自己有指揮權，他一個人到災區，什麼都沒帶，只帶著一顆愛心而已。在台灣遭遇重大災難時，馬英九的領導能力被人看透透。...(OS: 難道是因為沒能力所以只能帶愛心嗎？)"

國際輿論 批馬遲緩

..."國際媒體對馬政府救災報導

．美國《華爾街日報》：「死亡人數增加，台灣民怨升高」

．美國《紐約時報》：「台灣總統成為颱風民怨箭靶」

．日本《讀賣新聞》：氣象局與政府協調混亂，第一階段防颱手忙腳亂

．日本《朝日新聞》：馬英九和氣象局互推責任，馬政府內部自亂陣腳

．英國廣播公司BBC：「台灣向國際求援」，馬勘災在狀況外

．路透：政府加快救災，馬成民怨焦點

政府拒援還說謊

..."外交部昨證實曾發此公文，立委及學者聞訊後痛批外交部離譜、草菅人命，要外交部長歐鴻鍊說清楚，為公然說謊道歉。"

外交部扯到馬腳！疏忽「暫時」也能當理由？！

..."儘管外交部澄清，是忘記加上「暫時」兩字，但是從時間點上推算，外交部的電報上卻明白寫出，8日就已經接獲各國表示願意援助，外交部的10日電報發出時間點在後，不管有沒有「暫時」，拒絕就是拒絕，外交部在齊聚眾人之力百思之後想出的解釋，卻正好映證馬政府在第一時間已經拒絕外國的人力物力協助。「為了圓一個謊，必須說更多的謊」，外交屬於總統職權，外交細節更不容疏失，外交部在通令各外管處前，馬總統到底知不知情？外交部又是依據什麼樣的判斷，發出如此的電報？如果連馬總統都能說對外交作為不知情，外交部的膽大妄為，是不是更凸顯馬英九在領導統馭上的失職，以及馬政府官員的傲慢與自大？！"
