Saying that the text messages were an attempt to create conflict during the rally, Cheng called on participants not to believe the rumors and rather follow the instructions from the party’s coordination center.

Cheng said someone had recently distributed an open letter penned by Tsai titled “I don’t want my country to come to this” as an e-mail attachment containing a virus. Tsai’s blog has also received comments suggesting that today’s demonstration lacked support or calling on other visitors to the Web page to stop leaving messages.

In related news, former first lady Wu Shu-jen (吳淑珍) moved to Kaohsiung yesterday to live with her son, Chen Chih-chung (陳致中).

Wu took the High Speed Rail to Kaohsiung yesterday morning and was stuck at Zuoying Station for more than 30 minutes as supporters clashed with the media.
