Ting Hsin leaving Taiwan oil
market
TAIPEI,
Taiwan -- Ting Hsin International Group announced yesterday afternoon that it
will leave Taiwan's oil market and donate NT$3 billion toward food
safety under the supervision of a third party — Ruentex Financial Group Chairman Samuel Yin.
Ruentex Financial Group held a press
conference yesterday, with Ting Hsin Chairman Wei Ying-jiao and former Wei
Chuan Foods Corporation Chairman Wei
Ying-chung in attendance.
The Wei brothers first bowed and apologized
for causing concern among the public and stated that they are willing to face
the people on behalf of Ting Hsin.
“I am aware
that no matter what actions we take and how hard we try, it is hard for the
company to regain its reputation under these circumstances,” said Wei
Ying-jiao.
He continued by saying that since no one
wants to trust them anymore, he would like to invite Yin, who loves Taiwan and
has a good reputation, to be the supervisor keeping an eye on Ting
Hsin's payments as well as the interim convener in the establishment of
a new independent local food safety innovation committee.
Wei also stated that the NT$3 billion
donation will go to the government or social welfare organizations working on
food safety issues, hoping to recover Taiwan 's reputation as a food
producer.
In addition, Wei Ying-jiao promised that
Ting Hsin will take all necessary responsibility, starting with repaying
consumers full refunds based on the requests of local governments and
relevant authorities.
Yesterday evening, Wei Ying-chung was
summoned by the Changhua District Prosecutors Office for questioning.
Prosecutors have already inspected the Wei Chuan headquarters as well as Wei Ying-chung's
residence to collect documents and evidence for further inspection. Prosecutors
ended the search at 2 p.m. and decided to summon Wei to be questioned in the
evening.
Come up with Potential Solution in a Month:
Yin
“I am an amateur
in the food industry, but I am willing to make some efforts for the food safety
issue,” said Yin.
Yin stated that since he is an amateur in
the food industry, he will invite experts from various fields to deliberate the
issues. He also promised that he will come up with some potential solutions to
improve current situation in a month.
As for the question of whether he will take
over the operation of Wei Chuan, he said that he had never considered it.

I think this is a terrible news. Oil is important to our daily lives. Ting Hsin do not take people's health for granted. It is immoral for them to do such thing.
