This past Friday, approximately 200 protestors gathered outside of the former site of Chang Pharmacy in Dapu, Miaoli.

In September, owner Chang Sen-wen (張森文) was found dead under a bridge. The death was ruled a suicide by police, but there are those who remain suspicious, including Chang’s son...

從星洲觀看太陽花

莊嘉穎07/11/2014

台灣2014年三月太陽花運動在新加坡引起了兩種比較明顯的反應。星國主流媒體和官方一般以亂象看待太陽花。民間和社會媒體則藉著這次運動，開始從新認識政府權限和公民參與的問題。怎麼說是「從新認識」？其實，上世紀五、六十年代，也就是台灣戒嚴、白色恐怖時代，正是星國反殖民、學生、公會等運動最活躍的時候。五、六十多年後的今天，星國在人民行動黨長期嚴厲執政下，似乎遺忘了自己的這段歷史。而太陽花在台灣盛開的時候，也正好碰上了英國政府開放大量外交與英聯邦辦公室（Foreign and Commonwealth Office）和殖民地辦公室（Colonial Office）的歷史檔案。這兩件似乎沒有關聯的事情放在一起，再加上星國近幾年在人口、公共交通、貧富懸殊、房價、物價上受到的衝激，啟發了關心社會議題的新加坡人對政治制度的反思。...

Symin Chan07/04/2014

2014 年 3 月 18 日夜晚，一群台灣青年衝入立法院議場，佔領議會超過 20 天，抗議立委貿然和中國簽署《服務貿易協定》。這波被稱為「太陽花運動」的抗議，不僅衝破了台灣民主的黑幕，更使得許多原本對政治冷漠的台灣人，開始正視台灣的民主危機，連帶地掀起後續大規模的公民參與浪潮。同時，太陽花運動也揭示了台灣政治、經濟和社會各層面，長期以來潛藏的問題。...
