Premier: drugs and frauds problematic in Taiwan

Drugs and frauds are problematic and have become a threat to Taiwan’s public safety, Premier Lin Chuan said Monday in a report to the Legislature on the status of the country’s public safety.

Tackling these two issues to strength public safety will be the government’s priority, Lin said.

Drugs spawn violence and thefts, and drug use has trickled down to the younger generation, a terrible phenomenon, the premier said.

Any citizen with a drug problem will become a burden to the society, and therefore the problem needs to be curbed from the very beginning, including drug use on campus and control of drugs, premier said.

On the issue of frauds, the premier said fraud offenses had bounced back slightly after trending downward. Recent incidents raise alarm about international frauds, the premier said, adding that how to curb frauds across countries would also be a priority task.
