"I have encountered city councils when I worked for the Taipei City Government. I do not regard the pressure from the legislators to be a serious problem as long as I am willing to sit down, communicate with them and clearly make my point," Twu said.

"It is only natural that a new position will bring about new challenges. Therefore, I will learn as much as I can and do my best," Twu said, citing President Chen's famous comment: "Be what you are and do the best you can."

Chun Kun-ching (鍾坤井), Twu's close friend and the chairperson of the Foundation of Medical Professionals Alliance in Taiwan (台灣醫界聯盟基金會), asked Twu to stick to his ideals no matter what happens.

"Do not yield to pressure from legislators as long as you know you are doing the right thing. Just do the best you can and we are here to support you," Chung said.
