Few takers for post as chief of security at Chen's residence

Another military official, Peng Sheng-chu (彭勝竹), who replaced Yu as the chief of Chen's bodyguard detachment, became chief of the MIB in June last year. This past March, he was promoted to vice chief of the general staff and became a general.

The president's political opponents have claimed that the reason both Yu and Peng rose so fast is that they enjoyed good relations with the president.
