Premier deflects Cabinet reshuffle suggestions

Taipei--Premier Lin Chuan (??) said on Tuesday that Cabinet members are constantly being reviewed on their performance, but he has no plans to make personnel changes at present.

Lin made the remarks during an interpellation session at the Legislative Yuan, when he was asked to comment on public calls for the replacement of Transportation Minister Ho Chen Tan (???), Defense Minister Feng Shih-kuan (???), Justice Minister Chiu Tai-san (???) and Minister without Portfolio Chang Ching-sen (???).

Asked whether he agreed that Ho Chen Tan should step down to take responsibility for a recent bus crash that killed 33 people, the premier said the investigation into the cause of the accident should be completed before seeking to apportion blame, adding that it was "premature" to discuss the issue now.
