KMT to premier: Reshuffle Cabinet or quitTAIPEI, Taiwan -- Kuomintang lawmakers heaped scorn on Premier Lin Chuan at the start of the new legislative session Tuesday morning, demanding that he reshuffle the Cabinet or step down. After taking to the floor en mass chanting anti-government slogans, the KMT legislators later sat on the floor in front of the speaker's podium as Lin gave his administrative report. Earlier, KMT Legislator Johnny Chiang had opened the volley toward Lin, saying his Cabinet team offered the people no hope and demanding a reshuffle or Lin's resignation. Lin told reporters before entering the chamber that there were no plans for Cabinet personnel changes. The premier previously said that it was the government's duty to help tourism businesses during this downturn, assuring the industry that diverse policy measures were already in place.
