Yaung promised the government would carefully examine imported US beef.
“We will demand a lot of evidence to prove it is safe before it is sold,” Yaung said.
Meanwhile, KMT Legislator Lee Ching-hua (李慶華) defended Yaung over the minister’s alleged resignation, saying that Yaung was a victim of the US beef import controversy.
“The truth is [the relaxation] was decided secretly by a few people, while Minister Yaung was kept in the dark,” Lee said, without elaborating.
