Police sergeant Pan Fu-ming, officer Ku Hsien-sheng and trainee Hsu Chien-chin of Litan police station were recently carrying out night patrol duties in Nantou County’s Puli Township when they spotted a suspicious-looking hatchback car at a car park on Jhongshan Road, Section 1. A male, surnamed Chen, standing by the car, returned to hide inside the car on seeing the police. There seemed to be something unusual about his eyes, which attracted the attention of the police and led them to question him.
“Sergeant, there appears to be a syringe next to the driver’s seat.” The sharp-eyed Hsu realized something was not right and immediately issued a warning. The two police officers at once prevented Chen from driving off. First they found two syringes next to the driver’s seat, used for injecting drugs. Next, from Chen’s bag below the driver’s seat they found heroin and amphetamines — totalling six bags altogether — a bong, a modified pistol, three bullets and two unassembled gun barrels. Chen and his possessions were taken to the police station for investigation and interrogation.
Chen was brought to justice under the Controlling Guns, Ammunition Act and the Firearms and Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act, while further investigation was carried out to establish the origin of the firearm and whether it was involved in another case.

Police sergeant Pan Fu-ming singled out Hsu for praise, saying that — just as her name implies — she is extremely prudent and careful. Hsu, smiling, said it was her first firearm and narcotics case and that she was both nervous and excited. Hsu also thanked her senior officer and officer Ku for their guidance and advice.

A: What types of fruit enzymes should we take to help reduce eye floaters? B: According to a study published in the “Applied Sciences” journal by Taiwanese ophthalmologist Horng Chi-ting, pineapple, papaya and fig supplements can improve symptoms. A: Pineapples are in season now, so you should munch on more of those to get rid of floaters. B: Not quite. Enzymes can be damaged by our stomach acid if we eat the fruit directly. The doctor says taking fruit enzyme capsules is better for absorption. A: Most importantly, we should reduce our use of personal electronics to prevent floaters from
Rice is essential to Japanese culture, tradition and politics. People take pride in the oval-shaped sticky Japonica grain, which is still a staple even though total consumption has fallen over the decades. But since last summer, prices have soared as supplies have fallen short of demand. The government has long paid farmers to cut back on rice acreage, and change to other crops to keep rice prices relatively high. To cope with shortfalls this year, the government has released rice reserves. But the grain has been slow to reach supermarket shelves. Anger over that was part of the reason the Agriculture Minister
