By Sean Lin / Staff reporterTaipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) yesterday rejected an allegation by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Alex Fai (費鴻泰) that he made under-the-table deals with Radium Life Tech Co officials. Fai said the sum was less than one-third the amount Ko had initially asked for — NT$11.3 billion — and less than 50 percent of the NT$7.6 billion that former Taipei mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) had demanded. If you want to make claims, do it in a proper manner,” Ko yesterday said in response to Fai’s remarks. Ko denied having met with Radium chairman Lin Jung-hsien (林榮顯) or any other Radium officials on the evening of Jan. 18. Ko called on Fai to confront him with any information he has, so that he can “give him a harsh beating.”
