DPP caucus whip William Lai (賴清德) said that the Cabinet’s plan could help the government lower the unemployment rate for a short time but would not really resolve the underlying issues behind Taiwan’s rising jobless rate.
DPP Legislator Tsai Huang-liang (蔡煌瑯) said the public had lost confidence in Premier Liu Chao-shiuan (劉兆玄) and his Cabinet’s capability to deal with the economic downturn.
In light of this, it was regretful that Ma stood by the Cabinet and was not considering a reshuffle, Tsai Huang-liang said.
