DPP legislators Chen Ting-fei (陳亭妃) and Lin Shu-fen (林淑芬) also urged Ma to offer a clear explanation of the alleged meeting with Chen, saying that “it would be ironic for Ma, who always says he is an ‘anti-black gold’ politician, to be secretly meeting mafia members.”

Ma’s re-election campaign spokesman Yin Wei (殷瑋) said Chuang and Liang were making accusations against Ma without having any evidence.

KMT spokesperson Lai Su-ju (賴素如) said Ma and the party had no immediate plan to sue the magazine, but called on the magazine to print a correction.
