New Taipei City Mayor Chu Liluan and another senior official at thecity government made open apologies following media reports thatone of their colleagues teasingly staged a male strip dancing whenattending a training course sponsored by taxpayers' money. The Department of Information at the city government arranged abartending course for around 30 staff members in the departmentlast Thursday. The city government spent close to NT$10,000 (S$425) to purchasematerials and invite trainers to teach the group of public servantshow to tend bar and concoct drinks like in night clubs. When imbibing the prepared alcoholic drinks, someone closed thedoors of the classroom in the city hall and one male employeestarted taking off his clothes in a male strip dancing show. His performance apparently drove his colleagues wild and the womenco-workers let out loud screams in their excitement. Some images of the special show ended up on Facebook and news siteson the Internet. They were later picked up by some local printmedia and TV channels. New Taipei City Council members blasted Mayor Chu and LinChieh-you, director of the information department, for using publicfunds to stage a night club-style strip dance. One of them said it was no wonder that the public rating for MayorChu's performance on the job was one of the lowest among all localadministrators in Taiwan. The council member said it was entirely improper for employees todrink and dance, especially erotic striptease dancing, at theclassroom, which is normally used to give media briefings on thecity government's policies concerning public affairs. Chu apologized to the public for the misconduct of the youngemployee. He instructed all senior officials at the city government to carryout a thorough review of all employee training courses and weed outthe controversial classes. All staff members at the city government have to take at least 40hours of training courses a year, including 20 hours ofrequirements and 20 hours for selective courses, to better servethe taxpayers. Lin said that the bartending course was designed to help hishard-working staff relax and learn some cocktail mixing skills foruse at home on holidays. Lin apologized to the public to take full responsibility for thebehavior of the staff member, who had joined the Department ofInformation just several weeks before the incident. He promised to review and rearrange the training courses to avoidsimilar incidents in the future. Some commentators said there is nothing wrong with arrangingentertainment courses in the employees training programs as long asthe trainees can learn some useful skills to help with theirperformance on the job. But there should be no negative messages sent out to draw criticismfrom taxpayers who pay the money for all of the training courses.
