Queues of O’shen fans are harassed by borough warden

2026-11-03

Elections are drawing closer which is turning the heat up in Taipei. The fanbase for DPP candidate Puma Shen continues to grow, and many stores are posting announcements online about selling merchandise. On Monday evening, one such photo studio in a community in Daan was selling O’Shen banners. As the queue grew longer and longer, people waited quietly. That’s until the local borough warden caught wind of the situation and began taking videos and loudly harrassing them, claiming they were “breaking the law.”

- Can I cordon you in your homes? Hmm?

Puma Shen’s many fans arrived at an O’Shen merchandise store lining up to collect banners and trinkets. However, the local borough warden was not a fan. He began scolding them, taking videos, and even calling the police.

Shih Chung-sheng
Qunying Borough Warden
Our apartment complex has a peaceful environment, all of you lining up here are a nuisance, hurry up and leave, go home!

This is Qunying Borough in Daan District. A store owner had posted an announcement online saying he could give out Puma Shen’s merchandise banners and other items to support Shen. He didn’t expect the turnout to be this huge, with a long queue stretching far and wide. Although everyone was waiting quietly, the borough warden was causing a scene driving them away.

- If this was your district, your home, would you allow strangers to surround your home?
- I live here.
- Then you should be more defensive of our safety.
Tell me which unit, I’ll bring people to your house.
- Bring people to my house?
- Yeah.

Locals taking photos silently turned away and didn’t want to escalate the situation, but the borough warden kept saying it was private property and outsiders couldn’t enter, he even called the cops.

- When the police arrived, they said this was not an illegal act

Shih Chung-sheng
Qunying Borough Warden
The police perhaps was not aware of this, radical expression in open areas will cause large commotions. If you look at Article 305 of the Criminal Law, entering private areas is already something illegal.

Mr. Chen
Photo Studio Owner
This has always been a quiet community, and we don’t want to disturb residents, if you want to have conversations then please lower your voice, and maintain the quiet and also don’t shout. Everyone was slow to cooperate and then of course, more and more people came, I had to come out twice or thrice to warn them.

During the owner’s interview, the borough warden stood on the side recording. Netizens discovered he is a supporter of the KMT’s Legislator Lo Chih-Chiang.

Shih Chung-sheng
Qunying Borough Warden
In our community, there are three big nos: Politics, ethnic discussions and religion.

Mr. Chen
Photo Studio Owner
We are a democratic nation, this is a democratic society. Within public housing there are differing opinions, political ideas and stances, I am also a resident here. President Lai Ching-te once said, “it doesn’t matter if we have different political views, we must stand as one nation.”

As elections draw closer, both parties and their supporters are under major scrutiny.

排隊領洋流小物遭里長驅趕群英里里長痛斥小水滴"違法"

2026-11-03

首都選戰激烈，民進黨台北市長候選人沈伯洋掀起洋流熱潮、有不少店家主動網路公告發放洋流小物，昨晚(2號)在北市大安成功國宅有一間影像館老闆發洋流漂帶，但默默安靜排隊的"小水滴們"卻遭當地里長不斷驅趕、說你們"已經違法了"、甚至錄影、大聲痛斥。

- 可以在你們的家園圍困嗎，可以嗎

沈伯洋支持者、到洋流友善店家前排隊拿應援小物，卻遭當地里長喝斥、還拍影片、出言恐嚇叫警察。

[[群英里里長石忠勝]]
“是我們一個社區休閒的環境，你們這樣來造成我們多大的壓力，趕快解散，回家了”

這裡是北市大安區群英里成功國宅，影像館老闆日前他在網路公告，有洋流漂帶、小風車等應援小物供小水滴領取，沒想到來的人爆多、長長人龍排了一圈又一圈，但大家安靜排隊，卻遭里長不斷驅趕。

- 如果這個是你們的社區，你們的家庭，你們可以容許，陌生人在你們家園圍困嗎
- 我是住戶
- 你更應該，要維護我們社區的安全
你可以講哪一棟，我可以帶人到你家去
- 帶人到我家去
- 對啊

被拍攝的民眾、要不默默轉身、要不靜靜比出沈伯洋號次3號、不想搭理，但里長不斷強調，這是私有地外人不得進入，還把警察叫來。

- 警方那時候到場好像說，是沒有違法的情事

[[大安區群英里里長石忠勝]]
“警方他可能在這方面並不是那麼了解，開放的空間來表達你這種激進的，會造成大家非常非常的恐慌，看我們刑法第305條，進入到私人的庭院住宅，就已經構成了(違法)”

[[影像工作室老闆陳先生]]
“我們這邊本來就是寧靜社區，不要打擾到住戶，如果是你們這邊要交談的話，就是麻煩就音量降低，然後就是保持寧靜，也不要呼喊什麼口號，大家都很滿配合的，當然看後面人越來越多，我大概都有陸續出來兩次到三次”

老闆受訪，里長全程站在旁拍攝，網友起底，發現他是立委羅智強支持者。

[[大安區群英里里長石忠勝]]
“我們社區裡面，三件事不碰，黨派、族群、宗教”

[[影像工作室老闆陳先生]]
“我們是民主國家，這邊是一個民主的社會，成功國宅也有不同的聲音，因為我也是國宅住戶，彼此政治理念，立場不同，沒有關係，就像賴清德總統有說過的，政治立場不同沒關係，但我們必須是同一國”

選戰逼近，雙方支持者一舉一動、同樣被放大檢視。

NET 86% cotton polo shirt turns out to be 0% cotton and 97.6% polyester

With a growing number of people looking for natural fibers in their clothing, more and more shoppers are checking the labels when buying garments. But what if the labels are not true? Taiwanese clothing brand NET recently came to the center of a controversy, after a customer discovered that the fiber content of a polo shirt wasn’t quite as advertised. The label said 86% cotton, but a lab test later found that there was, in fact, no cotton at all in the garment. Let’s hear more.

Chen Yen-lin
FTV reporter
A shopper felt that the 86% cotton polo shirt they bought felt odd to the touch and tried to get a refund. The store told him to rest assured that the fiber content of the garment was correct. But the shopper took it for a lab test that found it was more than 90% polyester.

Mr. Chao
Bought polo shirt
The shop told me they would take it to get tested. Then when it came back, they told me it was all correct. I was very surprised, so I got the polo shirt back and I took it to get tested myself. The results then found it had no cotton at all.

Member of public
Cares about fiber content
If what I wanted to buy was a cotton garment, and what they gave me didn’t contain any cotton, I wouldn’t want to buy it.

Member of public
Weighing in on incident
Some people really care about the fiber content. Others think that as long as it’s cheap, it’s alright.

Voice of Lin Chuan-chien
Taipei Consumer Protection Official
Businesses must provide consumers with sufficient and accurate information about the goods or services they offer. They must not engage in misleading, concealing, or deceptive practices. Any violation may render the business liable for breach of contractual obligations.

NET has since issued an apology, admitting to oversights in its internal procedures for product labeling, quality checks, and customer service. Effective immediately, the retailer is offering unconditional returns for the disputed garment, hoping to ease consumer backlash and restore its brand reputation.

Jason Mraz fans fuming as concert seats turn into chaotic free-for-all

Fans of Jason Mraz were in for a disappointing concert experience in Taipei on Monday. The singer-songwriter came back to Taiwan for the first time in seven years, but poor organizing made for a terrible evening. Concertgoers reported that staff was still setting up chairs 10 minutes before the doors opened. Others say entire sections of seating completely disappeared and there was no staff around to guide people to their seats.

Fans were excited to see American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz back in Taipei. Sadly, it was a letdown.

The lights are down and Jason Mraz is already performing. But at the back, people are still looking for their seats. The concert was scheduled to start at 7:30 on Monday evening. Just 10 minutes before opening, staff was still setting up the seats. Concertgoers started flooding in with nobody to guide them, causing major bottlenecks.

Voice of concertgoer
Filming chaos
It’s now 7:35, and there are tons of people still looking for their seats. The signs and numbering are wrong, and the seating areas are messed up. There’s a whole seating area missing at the back. So many people have nowhere to sit. It’s crazy.

The seating arrangement differed greatly from what was advertised. And an area that was supposed to be elevated turned out to just be foldable chairs on the ground. The chaos left fans complaining that whole sections became a free-for-all, rendering the numbered ticket seat system completely useless.

Voice of Rueici
Went to concert
The ticket we bought cost NT$5,280, so how come our seats were so off to one side? In the end we had to look for our seats and find a spot for ourselves, and instead of sitting we had to stand. Everyone was standing at the back, blocking the entrance. The whole experience was terrible.

The poor organizing made fans flood social media with so many complaints that the event organizer posted an apology on its official website.

Voice of Lo Hsin-hua
Xinze
The original arrangements were for seats to be from Row 1 to Row 100. But in the end, there were some major changes near the back. There was a timing discrepancy between our staffing agency and the team responsible for assigning and putting up the seat labels.

Voice of Yeh Chia-hao
Consumer Protection Committee
Since the service was below the standards reasonably expected within the industry, the organizer should offer reasonable compensation to affected customers to protect its reputation and fulfill its social responsibility.

Several concertgoers have reported the incident with the Consumer Protection Committee, in hopes of getting compensation for their terrible experience.
