Premier Lin Chuan (林全) yesterday said he does not see why Minister of Finance Sheu Yu-jer (許虞哲) should resign, amid media reports that Sheu would follow Financial Supervisory Commission chairman Ding Kung-wha (丁克華) in stepping down over the Mega International Commercial Bank (兆豐銀行) scandal.

Yilan County native Sheu Fang-yi (許芳宜) has long been one of Taiwan’s great exports, as well as an inspiration to many young Taiwanese dancers, but her appearances at home have been few and far between.

Foundation chairman Wayne Sheu (許惠恒) said this year is the 16th campaign since it was launched in 2006. About 70 percent of people are aware of the “80cm and 90cm” healthy waistline standard, but 46.8 percent did not measure their waist in the past year, Sheu said, citing a foundation survey.
