A Taipei court is to decide whether actors Hsiu Chieh-kai (修杰楷) and Wang Po-chieh (王柏傑) are to be disciplined for their involvement in a KTV fight that might have contravened the Social Order Maintenance Act (社會秩序維護法), Taipei police said yesterday.
Police said that Hsiu and Wang were released after being questioned about the fight yesterday morning and that the case has been sent to the Taipei District Court Summary Division, which would decide if penalties should be assessed.
Police received a report at about 4:15am that people were fighting at a KTV on Zhongxiao E Road in Taipei’s Daan District (大安).

After arriving at the scene, police officers found that Wang and Hsiu had visited the KTV with their friend, surnamed Lin (林), and that Lin had an argument in the elevator with a man surnamed Chen (陳), whom the three had never met before.
Chen later went to the room being used by Hsiu, Wang and Lin and punched Lin, while Hsiu and Wang suffered minor injuries while trying to restrain Chen, police said.
After questioning the parties involved, Hsiu, Wang and Lin, as well as Chen and another person, decided not to press any charges.
Suspecting a breach of the Social Order Maintenance Act, police said they turned the case over to the Taipei District Court to decide how to handle it.

The 13 cases reported this year are the most for the same period since chikungunya was added to the list of notifiable communicable diseases in October 2007, she said, adding that all the cases this year were imported, including 11 from
China might accelerate its strategic actions toward Taiwan, the South China Sea and across the first island chain, after the US officially entered a military conflict with Iran, as Beijing would perceive Washington as incapable of fighting a two-front war, a military expert said yesterday. The US’ ongoing conflict with Iran is not merely an act of retaliation or a “delaying tactic,” but a strategic military campaign aimed at dismantling Tehran’s nuclear capabilities and reshaping the regional order in the Middle East, said National Defense University distinguished adjunct lecturer Holmes Liao (廖宏祥), former McDonnell Douglas Aerospace representative in Taiwan.
