Staff writer, with CNADemocratic Progressive Party lawmakers yesterday stepped up the pressure on former National Palace Museum director Feng Ming-chu (馮明珠) over a controversy surrounding her new position as an adviser to Beijing’s Palace Museum. The lawmakers demanded that the National Palace Museum, the Cabinet and the Control Yuan launch an investigation into Feng for allegedly violating revolving-door regulations and a travel ban to China. The legislators also demanded that Feng quit a post in Beijing immediately and return to Taiwan to face an investigation. Feng, who retired from her job at the museum in May, has been found to have visited China several times over the past few months. The legislators alleged that before leaving the museum, Feng approved her own application to shorten the period in which she would be forbidden from traveling to China from three years to three months.
